I wonder if, as both a Jewish and Arabic woman, I have to choose between these identities. I pay frequent visits to my four grandparents, who are Jews from Algeria and Tunisia, exiled in France in the 1960s. I am determined to confront them with the meaning of these two seemingly contradictory identities I inherited from them. With humor and self-mockery, I question the contradictions and the unthought aspects, and I stage the various versions of my family history, which I am constantly rewriting. In this exploration of a history filled with gaps, I am delving into frustrated relationships with memory and transmission.

May was incarcerated in Minidoka, one of 10 such prisons. We follow as May loses her job and her father is taken away. Yet throughout the journey, we witness May’s incredible resilience and how it forges a life of service. May goes on to become an community organizer,working collaboratively to create community events and spaces for healing and justice. She mentors many local youths who go on to become the leaders they are today. In the film, May, Miyako and other members of the Namba family travel to the Minidoka site. Miyako struggles to walk May’s journey. She imagines what she would bring with her in the limited luggage allowed, makes a mattress of hay in a horse stall for a bed, and visits many of the locations that shaped May’s life.

he protagonist of the story is Hilda Sterczer, the widow of the internationally renowned mountaineer, Zsolt Erőss. Through her eyes we get a glimpse into the events of next few days by following Zsolt's unsuccessful conquest of the mountain, resulting in a tragedy. Hilda is forced to follow helplessly, thousands of miles away, as her husband, participating in the Kancsendzönga expedition, becomes extremely exhausted and then ultimately dies during the descent from the mountain peak. Having been a supporter of Zsolt throughout his life, even after his death, Hilda tries to cope with the expectations of the public and the attacks of the media, with the same attitude the deceased had. However, it is precisely this compliance constraint that delays the mourning process. It takes time for her to admit, that she needs help in dealing with the tragedy, and that she can't handle all the obstacles alone. She has to find her own identity to start laying down the foundations of her new life.

Business, Viability, and Marketability of a Script and How to Break-In. Presented by ISA Network

The ISA's Director of Education, Max Timm, has been working with and developing writers and their projects for 17 years. Why do they keep coming back to him for consulting and coaching? Because he's able to help them see their projects as a whole and make development decisions like a producer or executive while never losing sight of the pure, creative process. Max focuses his writers on understanding education first, so that their personal and inspired approach to their stories will feel more natural, easier, and ultimately improve upon the speed at which a writer finishes a script. Every project is different, and some may feel like we're tackling a hungry bear. In this lecture, Max will break down the full development process from concept to the page writing so that each writer can get out of the writing weeds and stay up above in the dreamy clouds (while keeping a hawk's eye on every facet of your story). Max is also offering a highly discounted rate on his coaching and consulting services for a limited time - there are packages for every writer, no matter her experience. 4-Call package: $999 discounted to $699 (six months to use all four) - 30% off -8-Call package: $1499 discounted to $1019 (12 months to use all 8) - 32% off -12-Call package: $1999 discounted to $1319 (12 months to use all 12) - 34% off **Payment plans are available on the 8-call and 12-call options.

Workshop

Get Your tix here: https://www.imaginethiswomensfilmfestival.org/passes-tickets Hadyia a pregnant eleven years old orphan escapes from her village after having been forced to marriage. She takes the road to freedom alone with her goat whose milk she will use to survive. Sometimes when she drinks the milk she feels her mum is talking to her.

The protagonist of the story is Hilda Sterczer, the widow of the internationally renowned mountaineer, Zsolt Erőss. Through her eyes we get a glimpse into the events of next few days by following Zsolt's unsuccessful conquest of the mountain, resulting in a tragedy. Hilda is forced to follow helplessly, thousands of miles away, as her husband, participating in the Kancsendzönga expedition, becomes extremely exhausted and then ultimately dies during the descent from the mountain peak. Having been a supporter of Zsolt throughout his life, even after his death, Hilda tries to cope with the expectations of the public and the attacks of the media, with the same attitude the deceased had. However, it is precisely this compliance constraint that delays the mourning process. It takes time for her to admit, that she needs help in dealing with the tragedy, and that she can't handle all the obstacles alone. She has to find her own identity to start laying down the foundations of her new life. Purchase Tickets Here: https://itwiff23_heightanddepths.eventbrite.com
