EID MUBARAK by Mahnoor Euceph is one of CAAM’s selections in the 2024 PBS Short Film Festival. Screened at CAAMFest 2023, EID MUBARAK tells the story of a privileged Iman full of confidence in her wiley schemes to save a beloved pet goat from its fate as dinner for Eid-al-Azha, a Muslim holiday about sacrifice. You may know where this story is going, but the lessons are worthy of the path. The 13th annual PBS Short Film Festival is streaming July 15-26. This year's festival highlights, Story Time as we celebrate the art of short-form storytelling.

It’s time for Filmmaker Summer School! In case you missed the discussions at the Filmmaker Summit and Industry Panels. We’re rolling out recordings of these panels each week, beginning with the FILMING WITH FAMILY panel discussion. How did storytellers capture familial relationships across generations and geographies to craft narratives that reflected both the trauma and the love? What challenges did they face when addressing relationships that both nurtured and caused harm? Held on May 10, 2024 at the Four One Nine in San Francisco, 3 filmmakers Jude Chehab, Vicky Du, and Kenji Tsukamoto shared their courageous journeys in creating films about family, and discover how the process was both perilous and rewarding. Co-presented by Firelight Media’s Beyond Resilience Series This program was made possible with support from Firelight Media, and American Documentary WORLD. Check back each week, as we premiere more recordings through the summer.
