The Tale of Two May 9–19, 2024

Istanbul Modern Cinema presents a selection of fiction and documentary films directed by women as part of the "Sharjah Film Platform Montage" series. Among the nine films exploring conflicting dualities, blurring the line between reality and fantasy, and examining the boundary between personal and public identity, standouts include Tiger Stripes, Malaysia's Oscar nominee; Animalia, a sci-fi film from Morocco; and Joonam, the story of an American filmmaker seeking to uncover her mother's past in Iran.
