DESCRIPTION:Quite a few size positive films have recently been released and NAAFA is 
 very pleased to present Weightless, Gordita and A Matter of Size at our 
 first ever International Fat Film Fest!  \n\nJoin us on Sunday August 8, 
 2010 at 8:00PM as we come together and enjoy films from around the world 
 that encourage us to love our bodies and live our lives to the fullest each 
 day!  \n\nOur first feature will be Weightless, a documentary short film 
 about a group of plus-size women who share a love for SCUBA diving.  Liz 
 Nickels, a size 26 woman who lives in Oakland, CA, is a psychologist, SCUBA 
 diver and certified SCUBA instructor.  She created Big Adventures to allow 
 women of size a comfortable space to learn SCUBA diving and have fun with 
 other large women.  Both Liz and director/film maker Faith Pennick will be 
 present for a Q & A period following the showing of this film. \n\nGordita 
 is a short 10 minute film written and directed by Debby Wolfe.  It 
 chronicles the emotional journey of a young Latina woman who starts out 
 hating her body.  A simple gift from a lifelong girlfriend helps her 
 remember her hopes and dreams and changes her life.  \n\nA Matter of Size 
 is a hilarious and heart-warming film about four fat Israeli men who set 
 out to become sumo wrestlers, and in the process learn to accept themselves 
 for who they are and find happiness. It continues to win audience awards at 
 film festivals all over the world, including the Washington Jewish Film 
 Festival, and was awarded three Israeli Oscars!  \n\nThis fantastic 
 International Film Fest is open to the public.  A donation of $25 will buy 
 you a one year membership to NAAFA as well as access to this exciting 
 event.\n\nWho’s bringing the popcorn?\n\n
