Q: How do you see us redefining ourselves as Ameri Q: How do you see us redefining ourselves as American Muslims? A. “It’s about letting go of representation and owning our place in this country as immigrant Muslims. And the other piece is: authenticity comes when you let go of shame and own your story, and those are the kinds of American Muslim stories we need to be telling.” - Assia Boundaoui, journalist, filmmaker, and director of @BeingWatchedDoc Thanks to all who joined last night’s screening and Q&A with ISF Film Grantee @assuss!

Congrats to our Film Grantee @nijla1! Read more ab Congrats to our Film Grantee @nijla1! Read more about her upcoming short film on @netflixfilm below. 👇🏾 #Repost @nijla1 with @get_repost ・・・ Today’s the day! Didn’t think I’d make another short film, but when @netflixfilm and @filmindependent presented the opportunity, I couldn’t pass it up. I wrote and directed “Black Prom” during the pandemic with an amazing circle of artists, and it premieres today on Netflix’s Film Club Channel on YouTube and on @strongblacklead. It’s about youthful innocence and joy being suddenly disrupted by the brutality of our times, and what the world looks like when we care about people. It’s partly inspired by a prose poem I wrote, my fascination with prom as a black cultural celebration, and instances of brutality against human beings. We are so much more than the trauma we experience. We are people worthy of love and respect. Hope this film leaves you with some warmth. Link to the film is in my bio. Watch, like, comment, and share. Stay tuned for the trailer in the next post! Much love. 💜💖💜 #BlackProm #Netflix #shortfilm #filmindependent #love #light #riseUp #filmindependent #Emotion #SweetPotatoPieProductions #healingArt
