"It's a film about a mother-daughter relationship. It's using real conversations that Meriem had with her mom, recorded by someone else. And it's about love and acceptance and daughterhood and diaspora."
"New York is home, so we have a lot of friends and family here - everyone was just very enthusiastic. We had a bit of a biased audience today, but it was amazing."
"I'm wearing a blazer that belongs to Meriem - a lot of my outfits are things that belong to Meriem."
"Well, it was hot today. I was going to wear a suit and then I was like, I probably need to not wear a full suit."
Bouchra is an animated film centered on a queer coyote's coming-out and the mother-daughter relationship. The film uses real conversations recorded between a daughter and her mother to shape its narrative and voice. Central themes include love, acceptance, daughterhood, and diaspora, presented through intimate, authentic exchanges. A New York screening drew enthusiastic support from friends and family in attendance. Wardrobe details reflected close bonds, with one filmmaker wearing the other's blazer and the other opting against a full suit because of hot weather.
