We’re proud to present a program of short films that celebrates the rich tapestry of Arab-American stories.

Come with us as we interview three of the co-directors of QUERIDA FÁTIMA, Dawn Valadez, Lorena Gutiérrez, and Rodrigo Reyes, at the film's US premiere @millvalleyfilmfest earlier this month.
A decade after her 12-year-old daughter Fátima was murdered in a brutal feminicide, Lorena Gutiérrez sets up camp outside of Mexico's National Palace, demanding an audience with the country's first female president. What does justice look like when nothing can bring back your child?
Follow @queridafatimadoc for updates on their festival circuit and impact campaign!

📝Remembering our trip to Camden, Maine
Last month I had the pleasure of going to @camdeniff (and Maine) for the first time with the @bavcmedia team & our 2026 MediaMaker Fellows.
The amount of love for BAVC and Bay Area was so lovely to see, despite being like 3,000 miles from our home base in San Francisco. Our fellows had the opportunity to connect directly with potential funders, supporters, and collaborators in scheduled one-on-one industry meetings. Add to that mixers, parties, karaokes, lunches, screenings, panels, and the much feted annual Pitch event. It was a real privilege to be out here to accompany them and represent BAVC in supporting however we could.
We were so happy to see so many familiar faces, with past MediaMaker Fellows also in attendance including Cyrus Moussavi & Hubert Taylor, whose documentary WINDOWS OF TIME had its world premiere. Our fellows also watched HOW TO CLEAN A HOUSE IN 10 EASY STEPS directed by Carolina González Valencia & produced by Brenda Ávila-Hanna. Additionally, 2019 Fellow Emily Cohen Ibañez, premiered her latest short film RIVER.
Big thanks to the festival team plus everyone who joined us for our annual filmmaker mixer, especially our co-hosts @caamedia, @idaorg, Independent Film & Media Arts Group (IMAG), @futurefilmcoalition, @fwddoc, & the @firstfig_ staff.
As always, thank you to my brilliant BAVC colleagues Dawn Valadez, Jin Yoo-Kim, Jess Epstein & Brittney Réaume (there in spirit, we missed you!) for the dedication to our community and the work.
Special shout out to our talented fellows:
• Samantha Berlanga (@sammyyariel)
• Roni Jo Draper, Ph.D. (@ronijodraper)
• Daryl Jones
• Elisa Leiva Andersen (@elisaleivand)
• Jason Rhee (@jasorhe @ejleedocumentary)
• Amada Torruella (@amadatorruella @venaacuatica)
• Sara Yang (@saranyang @kunimori.film)
Already excited for next year ❤️
