About Weight of Ribbons short film:
Directed by Louis Melvyn, the film focuses on an intimate character study following a young girl who balances ballet with her daily life but eventually falls out of love with it.
It explores themes of identity, growing up, isolation, and the tension between childhood dreams and the present self
The project is deeply personal to Lipa, drawing from her real-life background in ballet, which she practiced intensely from age 11.
