The background is blue with bright lights, indicating a cityscape. The jackal is pictured in profile, from the shoulders up, gazing to the left with a forlorn look in its eyes. It has some piercings and is wearing a black jacket.

DOXA Festival is coming up, and we’re excited to be partnered for the screening of Bouchra on May 7th! In Bouchra, directed by Orian Barki & Meriem Bennani, a queer Moroccan filmmaker in New York is paralyzed by the fear of the blank page. A phone call with her mother in Casablanca will have memories resurfacing. Their tender yet complex exchange sparks a creative breakthrough, opening a journey through family bonds, daughterhood, and the thrill of love. This film is in Arabic, French, English with English subtitles. The screening will include a Q&A.

Bouchra is part of the paraDOXA program, the festival’s experimental program highlighting films that push the boundaries of documentary form. With a focus on community, each screening is followed by an in-depth discussion, offering audiences a deeper understanding into the creative and political dimensions of each work. This year’s selection interrogates the fissures between history and mythology, materiality and memory, exposing how power is inscribed into landscapes, and how communities navigate these contested spaces.
