We’re proud to be teaming up as a community partner with Indie Meme to present SULTANA’S DREAM!
Inés, a Spanish artist, lives in India and stumbles upon Sultana's Dream a science fiction story written by Rokeya Hossain in 1905. It describes Ladyland, a utopia in which women rule the country while men live in seclusion and are responsible for household chores. Fascinated by the story Inés embarks on a journey across the country to search for the one place where women can live in peace.
About Indie Meme:
”Indie Meme (www.indiememe.org) is a non-profit in Austin, TX that has been engaging, educating, entertaining, and bringing together different communities to promote cross-cultural understanding and help build a globally conscious community through screening independent films. We offer screenings of carefully curated independent cinema – feature films, documentaries, short films and so on from South Asia (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Nepal, Bhutan, & Iran). All our screened films are subtitled in English. Our aim is also to connect the audience with the makers of the films and celebrate them for their creative genius. Towards that end, we usually follow our screenings with an interactive session with the filmmakers/actors either with an opportunity for a face-to-face meetup or connect with them via teleconferencing.”
