*The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Director Dina Amer*

Cultural and intergenerational trauma erupt in this story about two sisters on the outskirts of Paris. After the siblings are torn apart, the eldest, Hasna, struggles to find her identity, leading to a choice that shocks the world. Director Dina Amer takes on one of the darkest issues of our time and deconstructs it in an intimate story about family, love, sisterhood, and belonging.

This screening is in partnership with Shasha Movies 

Shasha is an independent streaming service for South-West Asian and North African cinema. We present a carefully-curated selection of 20 films every two months to a global audience, in original language with English subtitles. Films are available to watch by all, anywhere in the world. In addition to gathering online, we host nomadic film clubs as a way to create meaningful cinematic experiences with our global community. Watching films together is an experience. It is important for us to emphasise the interactive elements of our nomadic film club, with activity orbiting the screening itself. It’s like watching a film at home with friends and family – where conversation, noise, food, dancing and laughter are key in coming together as a community to watch cinema.
