SUMMARY:"Americanish" Film Screening and Q&A
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a screening of Americanish followed by a Q&A with writer and producer Aizzah Fatima. \nWelcome to America: Where dreams come true…ish. A break from the traditional romantic comedy\, Americanish highlights different layers of womanhood as they intersect with cultural and societal expectations. Americanish invites viewers into the home and lives of three marriage-aged women as they navigate the often-turbulent waters of romance\, culture\, career\, and family. We follow the joys and tribulations of career-driven sisters Maryam and Sam Khan\, and their fish-out-of-water cousin Ameera. Set in Jackson Heights\, Queens\, New York\, the film follows a relatable and endearing storyline\, offering a fresh perspective on classic rom-com tropes. Americanish delves into the complexity of trying to both honor and break from cultural traditions while balancing personal values and career goals in a society that does not always accommodate both. \nCheck out the trailer. \nAizzah Fatima is an award-winning filmmaker\, actor\, playwright\, comedian\, and ex-Google engineer. She starred in\, produced\, and wrote the feature film Americanish\, which won 25 awards at festivals\, including jury awards for Best Lead Actress\, Best Narrative\, and several audience awards. Learn more about Fatima at aizzahfatima.com. \nThis event is free and open to the Springfield College community and the public. \nIf you have a disability and require a reasonable accommodation to participate in this event\, please contact Donna Croteau at dcroteau@springfield.edu as soon as possible to discuss your accessibility needs.
