The Culture, Rights and Representation in/for the 21st Century Research Kitchen in collaboration with the Dhakira Heritage Film Festival, invites you to the film screening of “In My Mother’s House” on Tuesday May 17 at 6pm GST in the Arts Center Screening Room. 

Open to NYUAD faculty, students, and staff and by invitation. To register please click here.

In My Mother’s House presents the longue durée of Euro-Atlantic, and African societies and histories, from unique points of view, indirectly, in the light of particular events and encounters of a large diasporic American-Eritrean-Italian family. These encounters are intimate and direct so that the viewer feels intrigued while being challenged to learn more. The attention is to individuals and conversations in actual, spontaneous, unrehearsed settings.

• Lina Fruzzetti, Filmmaker
• Ákos Östör, Filmmaker
