A conversation about positive body politics and the Arab women who create cinema under extreme conditions. Together with director and actress, Mounia Akl (‘Costa Brava, Lebanon’) and film director, Asmae El Moudir, who is featured in this year’s program with the film ‘The Mother of All Lies’, we welcome you to a conversation about women empowerment through film. We dive into how to hold on to the stories of yourself and those you love – through storms, lies and explosions. Can the accumulation of adversity also help create something extraordinary?

The conversation will be moderated by Aram Ostadian-Binai, Founder and CEO of ‘The Soulfuls’ and DEI Creative Consultant.

Presented in collaboration with The Soulfuls and Rawiyat – Sisters in Film.
