Synopsis

New York City is filled with animals in artists Orian Barki and Meriem Bennani’s (best known for the web series 2 LIZARDS) utterly original look at art, creativity, and identity, BOUCHRA. The titular Bouchra — a filmmaker and queer expat envisioned as an anthropomorphic jackal — stares at blank pages in New York as she tries to connect with her mother in Casablanca in this inventive mix of documentary, narrative, and animation.
