🌍✨ Brides – A Story of Belonging and Resistance Chicago Premiere at ADIFF-Chicago 2025 In today's Europe, where migration and identity are reshaping cultural landscapes, stories like Brides are more urgent than ever. 🎥 From the acclaimed 2025 Sundance Film Festival, Brides follows two young Muslim women in the UK—Muna and Doe—who, feeling rejected and alienated, are lured by the false promise of inner peace abroad. It's a powerful portrait of what happens when second-generation immigrants grow up caught between worlds, searching for identity, faith, and home. This thought-provoking drama joins past ADIFF selections—like 100% Arabica, The Last Tree, and The Story of Lovers Rock—that explore how immigration transforms not just families, but entire societies. 📍 Chicago Premiere 🗓️ Saturday, June 14 at 1:00 PM 📍 FACETS Film Forum 🎟️ Tickets & Info: chicago.eventive.org Presented as part of ADIFF-Chicago’s Women-Centered Stories line up, Brides is essential viewing for educators, students, and anyone reflecting on the meaning of identity in our shifting world. #ADIFFChicago2025 #BridesFilm #WomenInFilm #DiasporaCinema #MuslimVoices #ChicagoFilm #GlobalStories #IndependentFilm #FacetsChicago #NYADIFF (fb)
