davis1Dr. Saeed Talajooy and Sanaz Raji would like to invite you to a film screening and UK premier of three short films by Iranian-American film-maker, Shahrzad M. Davis on Wednesday, 25th of March 2009 at 5:30pm, Engineering Building, Malet Place, Room 1.02.
The films all deal with aspects of migration, identity, and sexuality. After the screening, there will be a Q&A session with the film-maker.
About the Film-maker:
Shahrzad M. Davis is a polyglot activist anthropologist hailing from California- the land of golden dreams. Making her Iranian mother and Anglo-American father proud, she received a master’s degree from London’s School of Oriental and African Studies with the support of a Fulbright Scholarship upon her graduation from UC Berkeley. True to the fabled woman inspiring her name, Shahrzad likes to retell stories from the diasporic frontiers through the pen and video camera.

Hi! We at Kartemquin are trying to spread the word about the PBS broadcast of our film, The New Americans, which chronicles the struggles and experiences of immigrant families from the around world as they adjust to their new lives in the U.S. We would love any help we can get from bloggers like yourself in getting the word out to those concerned with the issues facing immigrants in the world today. Feel free to visit our website: http://www.kartemquin.com. Thanks!
