Qlimax 2008: Next Dimensional World (2009)

Fair Play is the epitome of the modern depiction of feminine rage. Far too often in film, this rage is portrayed as a woman silently fuming, with a single tear rolling down her cheek. In reality, women do not sit idly by and keep their emotions bottled inside. Women can and often do scream, hurt, and rage at the people and things at the source of their suffering.

Despite society labelling women as soft, vulnerable, and weak, women have had to learn to be resilient to navigate a sexist world. This endurance is crucial to deal with a life of being told how to look, what to do, what not to do, and how to dress. Women also have to learn prioritization, and when to fight battles because over time there are just too many and it’s often easier to pick the ones that “matter most."

In the face of inappropriate comments and actions from men, women have learned the art of pressing forward without creating a "scene." Even in today's workplace, women find themselves fighting to be regarded as equals to their male counterparts, yearning for a fraction of the respect automatically accorded to men. Fair Play skillfully captures this ongoing struggle, underscoring the stark reality that women must battle harder to attain the same goals as their male counterparts.
