This paper deals with the topic of girl characters’ transition in contemporary indie or so called art cinema for young audience (age 13+). It is not necessarily the transition from girlhood to womanhood. But these characters are mostly challenged through (subconscious) rites of passage and have to deal with stereotypes. Most of girl characters in contemporary cinema for youth are on the run from this kind of society, dreaming of a bright future. What are the stereotypes we can recognize in these characters? Is it possible that cinema for youth could encourage the target audience to be aware and more sensitive of different ways how girls could behave, how they could react in specific situation or just look like? My main focus and interest in displaying girl characters in films for youth is based on my doctoral research about contemporary art cinema for youth and also on differences we can notice in comparison with mainstream coming of age drama or teen film. In my presentation I want to direct your attention to problems which are connected to showing young girls in stereotypical way and talk about the changes we are facing in this sector of contemporary cinema nowadays. I use examples from the recent films where the main protagonists deal with different problems in various geographical or social environment. F.e.: Rocks (Sarah Gavron, 2019) or Firecrackers (Jasmin Mozaffari, 2018). The text was presented at the NECS 2021 conference hosted by the University of Palermo, Italy.
