GRACEFUL GIRLS (2015) [Feature]
Guts, stamina, dedication, power. You'll need all four to be crowned "Most Graceful Girl".
In the beautiful, physically demanding and almost forgotten world of calisthenics, there is only one title that matters: Most Graceful Girl. For 26-year-old primary school teacher Brianna Lee, three-time Graceful Girl runner-up, there's nothing she wants more in this world. But calisthenics is a young woman's sport and time is running out, so with the aid of legendary coach Diane Synnott, Brianna decides to have one last tilt at the crown.
A consistently surprising portrait of a sport that most people don't even realise exists, Graceful Girls is the endlessly charming feature film debut from Olivia Peniston-Bird. Filled with remarkable, larger-than-life characters and some of the best rivalries this side of pro-boxing, Graceful Girls is a true testament to the driving power of obsession, and the way that the spirit of competition can lead us to discover the better parts of our nature.
