Radical Vulnerability in Muslim Cinema: Navigating Shame, Taboos, & Directing | The Muslim House® during Tribeca

What does it truly take to capture raw, unfiltered vulnerability on camera - especially when dealing with deeply personal taboos within traditional communities?

Recorded live at The Muslim House® during the Tribeca Festival, this session features an insightful Q&A from the Watch Party panel curated by the Islamic Scholarship Fund.

Featuring directors Nausheen Dadabhoy (Halal Bodies), Sarah Mokh (Cigarettes), and Serena Rasoul (Sage Songs), the creators open up about the ethical conundrums of asking participants to share personal stories, the mechanics of turning short proofs-of-concept into full studio features, and practical advice for women navigating a highly competitive, fast-paced entertainment industry.
