Bouchra

Director Orian Barki, Meriem Bennani

In this imaginative animated feature, Bouchra, a queer filmmaker living in New York, struggles with an intense writer's block. As a coyote navigating the complexities of romance, cultural identity, and artistic life, she begins a series of challenging yet overdue phone calls with her mother in Casablanca. These conversations force her to confront the years of silence following her coming out and explore the deep-seated emotional rifts between them. Supported by her chosen family, Bouchra transforms her personal journey into a cinematic expression, aiming to heal long-standing tensions through her art.
