In the run up to the women's day, and the host of festivals and celebrations planned in the month of march - We are screening "Thelma & Louise (1991)"

Directed by Ridley Scott, "Thelma and Louise" made a huge splash when it was released and has since become a part of the pop culture lexicon. In it, a mistreated housewife and harried waitress stumble into an out-of-control - but totally liberating - crime spree. As bold and relevant as ever, it remains a vastly entertaining must-see.

Plot :

Whilst on a short weekend getaway, Louise shoots a man who had tried to rape Thelma. Due to the incriminating circumstances, they make a run for it but are soon followed closely by the authorities including a local policeman who is sympathetic to their plight. The federal authorities, however, have less compassion and thus a cross country chase ensues for the two fugitives. Along the way, both women rediscover the strength of their friendship and suprising aspects of their personalities and self-strengths in the trying times.

Organizer
Nazariya International Women's Film Festival
Nazariya Film Festival's mission is to inform, inspire, educate and entertain audiences to the issues affecting women through film screenings and discussions. We envision the festival as a platform for conversations and discourses on issues related to women and gender through an open confluence of art, activism and cinema. The festival seeks to bring together artists, filmmakers, activists and thought leaders, who through their creative work actively increase awareness, provide multiple viewpoints, address complex social issues, and inspire audiences through their cinema and art.
