We are proud to announce that Maybe by Suzan Wasfi, a short film made as part of our Freedom Films project, will be screened at Durango Film Festival, USA, in March!

Maybe is a semi-autobiographical documentary which follows the trials of the only female horse trainer in Jenin, drawing parallels with Suzan Wasfi’s own situation as a female director working in a society where gender roles are sharply defined.

“This woman is courageous, brave enough to ride a horse. This is not a normal situation in our society in terms of customs and traditions. Society has to know that this is her right and that she is free to do what she wants”, says Wasfi.

This film project is Suzan Wasfi’s fourth film and her first documentary. Her work puts Palestinian society under the microscope, and often examines the role of women in society.

‘Maybe’ will be screened as part of the Doc Shorts Program #2, at these times and locations:
Animas City Theatre, Fri March 4th, 9:30.
Gaslight Theatre 2, Sun March 6th, 18:30.
Durango International Film Festival website.
