Delicate Little Flowers: A Feminist Fable is by debut filmmaker Nancy Kanter. She defines “feminist fable” simply as a short story about fairness and freedom for all.
More specifically…
Feminist: Fairness in political, economic, and social opportunities; freedom for all to have bodily autonomy, to control our own selves, to choose which direction our life takes, and with whom; freedom from gender-based violence (read more)
Fable: A short story that teaches a moral lesson or general truth, often featuring animals or nature
About the Filmmaker
Nancy Lynne Kanter – Writer/Director, Delicate Little Flowers: A Feminist Fable
I’m a long-time visual artist and writer but new to filmmaking as an art form. I got into miniature-building during the pandemic and that inspired me to build my own little world… and create a story to go along with it.
Film seemed like the best medium to bring my idea to life, but I had no prior experience, no budget, and no crew. So I gave myself a mini crash-course in filmmaking, researched each step along the way, and filmed it myself on a homemade set in my garage. Paid my kitty in treats for her work as voiceover catress and executive purrducer.
My first film is a feminist fable, where storytelling, art, and miniatures transform into a lesson about fairness and freedom. I have more film ideas in the works, as well as a series of Fable Books, where I combine storytelling, art, and mechanical movements to animate original fables. My Fable Books and corresponding fable art prints will be available for purchase soon in my online store, Beauty Is Inside.
My background includes a variety of creative pursuits, including watercolor and acrylic painting, jewelry design, miniature-building, dioramas, and portrait drawing for which I was awarded a Commendation Letter from a Navy Captain/Commander. I’m also writing a book on women’s empowerment and founded the popular Beauty Is Inside Facebook community where I share feminist and political content to over 230,000 members. My “Flowers to Empower” art series ties all that together with pretty watercolor flowers with pretty empowering messages. You can read my artist’s statement for more info.
