Cinematic Sisterhood: The Queen of My Dreams

August 23 @ 6:30 PM - 10:00 PM
$11 – $13

The WF is proud to sponsor Cinematic Sisterhood, a new film series amplifying the voices of women in the film industry and beyond. In partnership with Milwaukee Film, this series shines a light on women as directors, producers, editors, actors, and critics… bringing gender equity to the big screen.

Told through bold colors, complex characters, and multiple timelines, The Queen of My Dreams, the second film in our series, is a dazzling coming-of-age story that navigates faith, queerness, identity, and the nuances of mother-daughter love across cultures and generations.

After the credits we’ll be hosting a post-film conversation to unpack the themes, share insights, and celebrate the voices behind the film. Both Fawzia Mirza, the film’s director, and Andria Wilson-Mirza, its producer, are expected. Q&A moderated by Lajwanti P. Waghray, Milwaukee-based filmmaker.
