About the event
Join us at the Cinematters: NY Social Justice Film Festival for a virtual screening of Americanish directed by Film Fatales member Iman Zawahry, followed by a panel discussion.
A twist on the traditional romantic comedy, Americanish highlights layers of womanhood as intersecting with cultural expectations. In Jackson Heights, Queens, two sisters and their newly-immigrated cousin must navigate the demands of romance, culture, work, and family.
The panel conversation will focus on issues of authentic authorship, immigration, and identity, as well as ways that audience members can take meaningful direct action both as members of impacted communities and as allies. Speakers include the film’s director Iman Zawahry, producer Roy Wol, actor Aizzah Fatima, and Dalia Fahmy from the Islamic Scholarship Fund. Moderated by Ramy writer and producer Dr Maytha Alhassen.
