Join us for a special preview screening of Fremont, a thoughtful and wryly funny look at the immigrant experience, further distinguished by striking black-and-white cinematography.

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 The Bear's Jeremy Allen White as a heartthrob mechanic.

Join us after screening for a Q&A with director Babak Jalali.
