Rocket Girl by Agnes Swiercz

About the event

Rocket Girl is an intimate portrait of a young girl, Eleni, as she navigates adolescence while pursuing her passion of building rockets. The film weaves together an honest depiction of the awkward and timeless coming of age story, with a peek into the competitive, male dominated and intense community of Rocketry. It’s the story of a girl who marches to the beat of her own drum, against the grain of society's expectations about what she should be or do—a girl who believes that even the sky isn’t the limit.
