Event details
WSA are delighted to host award-winning filmmaker Nausheen Khan, as part of Professor Louise Siddon’s Material Interests.
Nausheen will screen her devastating documentary Land of My Dreams which foregrounds the voices of the protesters of India’s Citizenship Amendment Act, as well as the filmmaker’s own, as a Muslim woman.
The screening (74 minutes in Hindi with English subtitles) will be followed by a conversation with Associate Professor of Arts and Cultural Leadership Dr Kai Syng Tan. Dr Kai Syng Tanhad learnt of Nausheen and her work at Yamagata International Documentary Film Festival, where she won a Citizen’s Prize.
In the UK, Nausheen has been touring the universities of Sheffield, Sussex, UCL, and KCL with fantastic responses. This session will be valuable to learn more about counter-hegemonic strategies in the face of Islamophobia and misogyny not just in the Global South but beyond, and from the perspective of a courageous young feminist filmmaker.
About Nausheen: Nausheen Khan is an independent filmmaker based in India, working on gender perspectives amid conflict and political unrest in contemporary times. Land of My Dreams is her first self-financed feature-length documentary film. It won Best Long Documentary at the International Documentary and Short Film Festival of Kerala, in 2023, and the Citizens' Prize at the Yamagata International Documentary Film Festival, in 2023.
Everyone is welcome.
