Art House host John G. McGrath talks to emerging writer/director Erika Lobati about her latest short film - a meditation on body image - and her other works.

"Body Paragraphs" explores a teenager's psychological struggle for self-esteem against the backdrop of a society that devalues unconventional beauty. Through this film, Lobati grapples with the issues of confidence and conflict resolution in the face of fatphobia.
