Neo Nahda recounts the story of Mona, a young Arab woman who finds old photographs of women cross-dressing in the 1920s, becomes obsessed with them, and goes on a feverish journey of uncovering lost histories and her own identity. The film deals with #queer and feminist histories of the Middle East, the process of research, browsing and discovering lost archives, and how archives can be a portal for the imagination and the realm of inner projections, they can produce meaning beyond historical truths. It is supported by the BFI Network.About the F﻿ilm Director: May Ziadé is a French-Lebanese filmmaker and the co-founder of Other People’s Films – a production company that produces and aims to create bridges between moving image work and conventional films with a strong artistic voice.
