AMERICANISH

Filmmakers in attendance. Film program will be followed by Q&A

In Jackson Heights, Queens, career-driven sisters Maryam and Sam, along with their newly-immigrated cousin Ameera, must navigate the consistent and sometimes conflicting demands of romance, culture, work, and family. Serving both as a lighthearted reimagination of a classic romantic comedy, AMERICANISH tackles and celebrates the complex intersectionalities of womanhood.
