Bravo les lesbiennes furries
Wrestling with writer’s block for her first film, Bouchra, a queer Moroccan jackal living in NYC, starts having difficult yet overdue phone calls with her mother in Casablanca that begin influencing the project. Balancing the precarity of working as an artist, the rift in her cultural identity and an array of romantic interests, Bouchra’s emotional reckoning becomes her path to expression.

La pièce de théâtre sur la salade niçoise jouée par les gosses sera probablement ma séquence préférée de 2026
“but the models look weird and the animation is stilted” yeah and it’s beautiful you dumb bitch! genuinely sort of transcendent to see a film like this on a cineplex screen. unapologetically honest and weird and scrappy in a way that queer art should aspire to be. slow macro zoom-in on the spit trail following a sumptuous dyke furry kiss might be the highlight of the fest this year. excellent q&a from a fascinating team.
