MY SO-CALLED IRAQI WEDDING 

Dir: Ayser Salman | United States | Narrative Short | 2024 | 13 min

As a child, Iraqi-American Samira learned to be an incurable romantic thanks to her rom-com loving aunt. Now, on the verge of 40, Sami has finally met the one. But never mind love, how big is the wedding? That’s what her mother wants to know. And Sami finds herself sucked into the lavish, circus-like celebrations.

 

PIERRE WEST — Finalist

When Pierre’s TV breaks, a quiet life of isolation begins to unravel and transform into a long journey through trauma, resilience, and the search for light in overwhelming darkness. Pierre West is a character-driven drama filmed over 17 years, chronicling Pierre’s lonely existence and his struggle with deep emotional wounds.
