Jordanian filmmaker Darin J. Sallam is presenting her second feature project “Churching of Women” at Busan’s Asian Project Market, marking the first Jordanian entry at the APM.
Following her debut feature “Farha,” Sallam’s new project tells the story of a pioneer female author who experiences injustice in a colonial era dominated by masculine power structures.
“It became personal to me when I felt the responsibility as a woman and as an Arab to make this film and to use cinema as my tool to do her justice,” said Sallam.
