In celebration of Women’s History Month, BAM and Reel Sisters will host an exciting evening showcasing selected Oscar qualifying shorts from Reel Sisters of the Diaspora Film Festival & Lecture Series. From Brooklyn to Taiwan, join us for a powerful line up of short films that celebrate families, faith and love. 

Reunion, a short directed by Zainab Jah and Tim Naylor, is under Oscar consideration for 2025 for a poignant story about West African immigrant Isata being triggered by a bestselling author and former child soldier. It is one of the featured shorts highlighted in our showcase.
