Fremont Q&A at Curzon Bloomsbury

  • Curzon Bloomsbury London, England, WC1N 1AW United Kingdom (map)

Q&A screening with director Babak Jalali. Join us at the screening, and stick around after the Q&A as we create our own fortune at our FORTUNE COOKIE MESSAGE.

Donya, a young Afghan who moved to Fremont, California after serving as a translator for the American army, spends her days working at a fortune cookie factory and her nights wide awake battling between her desire to rebuild her life and the overbearing guilt she carries within. In a bid to connect with the world, she sends an unconventional message through a fortune cookie. Tinged with Jarmuschian deadpan humour, this sensitive immigrant tale packs a breakout performance by real-life refugee Anaita Wali Zada, joined by a perpetually off-kilter Gregg Turkington and Jeremy Allen White from The Bear as a heartthrob mechanic.
