🐺Directors voice their own friends and family
🎤Stay for the filmmaker Q&A
Bouchra is a jackal navigating queer expat life in New York, part animation, part real phone calls from the directors' own lives. Meriem Bennani and Orian Barki's autofiction is funny, strange, and sneakily profound about belonging to two places and fully fitting in neither.
