Film Forum Presents ~ Q&A with MEDIHA Filmmaker Hasan Oswald & Subject Mediha Alhamad

October 11 - 12, 2024 - Doors open @7 PM

Since the start of his filmmaking career, Hasan Oswald (Director & Producer) has established an ability to capture the human experience through verité cinema. He has covered the water crisis in Flint, Michigan (FORGOTTEN USA), drug trafficking and homelessness in Camden, NJ (HIGHER LOVE), and the international diaspora of conflict refugees for NatGeo (HELL ON EARTH). Hasan was named one of DOC NYC’s 40 under 40 documentary rising stars to watch co-presented by HBO Documentary Films.

Mediha Alhamad (Film Subject & Cinematographer) was an integral part of the making of the MEDIHA documentary. She filmed herself and her family for three years, bringing the audience into the most authentic telling of her story. She’s brave and determined beyond her years and has become an advocate for her community. She has the potential to help other Yazidi women and girls in very similar circumstances, and the filmmaking team believes that she, a Yazidi survivor herself, is the best person to do this.

 

Now, if you are interested in sitting down with two AMAZING BRILLIANT and CREATIVE Directors and Producers, then you are in luck. So get those questions ready and grab those tickets to come and enjoy an outstanding, insightful night.
