'Q' Film Screening + Director Q&A with Jude Chehab

Join us for the screening of Jude Chehab’s beautiful debut feature documentary ‘Q,’ fresh on the heels of its sucess at Tribeca Festival (Albert Maysles Award for Best New Documentary Director) and Sheffield Doc-Fest (Grand Jury Award for Best International First Feature). 

Jude Chehab’s debut feature untangles her family’s connection to a Syrian religious order, making for a nuanced and tense exploration of matrilineal trauma.

An intimate and haunting portrayal of a quest for love and acceptance at any cost, Q depicts the insidious influence of a secretive matriarchal religious order in Lebanon on three generations of women in the Chehab family. Filmmaker Jude Chehab potently documents the unspoken ties and consequences of loyalty that have bonded her mother, grandmother, and herself to the mysterious organization. A masterful portrait of the toll that decades of unrequited love, lost hope, abuse, and despair takes on a person, Q is a multigenerational tale of the eternal search for meaning.

The screening will take place on Friday August 18th at 6:30pm and will be followed by an in-person Q&A with Jude Chehab.
