Scottish Premiere
Itto, a young woman from a modest rural background, is slowly adapting to the privileged codes of her husband’s Moroccan family. But when supernatural events plunge the country into a state of emergency, Itto is separated from her husband and new in-laws. Alone, pregnant, and searching for a way back, she discovers her own emancipation.
Animalia first premiered at Sundance where it won a Special Jury Prize for creative vision, before a much anticipated UK and Ireland theatrical release, Jali Film Weekender presents a special preview introduced by curator, film programmer and writer Myriam Mouflih.
This screening of Animalia is presented in partnership with T A P E Collective.
