Decolonizing Cinema: Unapologetic Filmmaker Takes On Hollywood

Join Rolla Selbak, a multi-award-winning queer Palestinian American filmmaker, as she shares her unapologetic journey through the landscape of Hollywood. From her Sundance-backed feature film to developing series for Sony and Disney, Rolla exposes the industry's deep-seated stereotypes and the cost of speaking truth to power. She discusses the myth of the "good Arab," the importance of artistic integrity, and how she's using her platform to humanize Palestinians and challenge the gatekeepers of cinema with her new project for aspiring filmmakers. Through personal stories of struggle and resilience, Rolla offers a powerful vision for a decolonized cinema where queer and Arab voices can finally be heard.
