Bouchra (2026)
Bouchra, een filmmaker in New York belt met haar moeder in Marokko. Bouchra is een coyote, haar moeder ook. Ze staart al enige tijd naar de witte pagina’s van haar script. Ze wil het verhaal vertellen van hoe een queer filmmaker van Casablanca naar New York verhuisde om daar een nieuw leven te beginnen, en welke rol de moeder, een cardiologe, speelde in haar besluit om te vertrekken. Probleem: hoe krijgt ze het verhaal in beeld, wat waren de details? Bouchra pakt de telefoon. De filmmaker, verwikkeld in allerlei relaties in de queer scene van New York, maakt zich zorgen over de impact van haar seksualiteit op de relatie met haar moeder. Tussen hen trad een negen jaar durende stilte op toen Bouchra uit de kast kwam; haar film wil ze gebruiken als breekijzer om spanningen en onopgeloste problemen aan te pakken. Bouchra’s ‘chosen family’ in New York staat haar bij met raad en daad.
