Bouchra (2026)
Directed by Orian Barki, Meriem Bennani
“"What's on your heart?"”
Animation, Drama, Comedy · 1h 23m
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.
