Join us in the microcinema for one of the most unique animated feature films of recent history – Maeriem Bennani’s intensely personal, singular, and genuine Bouchra. 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. Juxtaposing decidedly absurd animation choices with the realism of her characters and dialogue, Bennani creates an asbolutely unique vision of artistry and queer identity.
