Bouchra

Directed by Orian Barki and Meriem Bennani

With Meriem Bennani, Orian Barki, Fayçal Azizi, Ariana Faye Allensworth and Hassan Hamdani

Wrestling with writer’s block for her first film, Bouchra, a queer Moroccan jackal living in NYC, starts having difficult yet overdue phone calls with her mother in Casablanca that begin influencing the project. Balancing the precarity of working as an artist, the rift in her cultural identity and an array of romantic interests, Bouchra’s emotional reckoning becomes her path to expression.
