SUMMARY:Levity and Artivism with Fawzia Mirza
DESCRIPTION:3rd i will showcase comic genius Fawzia Mirza\, whose work adeptly uses humor to undo divisive stereotypes and defuse challenging conversations. A queer Pakistani-American actress\, director and creator\, she is an alumna of the Festival stage\, previously screening shorts and also appearing in a live performance in 2015. In this year’s program\, we highlight a range of her shorts\, from the Bollywood-inspired Queen of My Dreams (2012) and the therapy-couch comedy The First Session (2015)\, to her documentary work around Pakistan\, The Streets Are Ours (2016). We end with her most recent work Saya (co-directed with Anam Abbas\, 2018-19) — an ode to Karachi — and I Know Her (2019)\, a reflection on intimate relationships\, which recently made the rounds of the Cannes Film Festival. Fawzia has been hailed a White House “Champion of Change” in Asian American Art & Storytelling\, a “Top 10 Creative” (Indiewire)\, and “10 Filmmakers to Watch” (Independent Magazine). \nIn the post-screening Q&A\, Mirza will discuss her work across theater\, TV\, and film\, and her thoughts on feminist and queer politics in South Asia\, specifically Pakistan.
