Bouchra
Orian Barki, Meriem Bennani / US, IT, MA, 2025 / 83 min.
Bouchra, a queer filmmaker in New York calls her mother in Morocco. Bouchra is a coyote and so is her mother. Orian Barki and Meriem Bennani’s first feature-length animation is an imaginative, disarming tale about a complex mother-daughter relationship.
Bouchra has been staring at the empty pages of her script for some time. She wants to tell the story of a queer filmmaker from Casablanca who moved to New York to start a new life and the role the latter’s mother, a cardiologist, played in that decision to leave. The problem is how to visualise the narrative, what were the details? Bouchra picks up her phone.
In Eye and in national cinemas.

Screened at prominent national and international festivals, yet never released in Dutch cinemas. Quite unjustly so, Eye Filmmuseum thinks, and so it has once again brought an exceptional selection of films from international festivals to the Netherlands.
