Abstract

Maggie Kamal is an Egyptian filmmaker based in New York City. Culminating in a scene of sexual harassment, her short film (2021) serves as a microcosm of patriarchal society and the precarious situations that women often have to navigate. During its festival run from March 2021 until August 2023, the short film drew passionate yet diverging responses from across the United States, Europe and the Middle East, suggesting how audience reception can reveal the different yet subtle ways in which sexism operates.
