Out North could not be more excited to host a groundbreaking film that details the lives of 3 Arab-American women. The film, "Three Veils" is in its very first run on the festival circuit, and is sure to make big waves going forward.
Filmmaker Rolla Selbak and actress Sheetal Sheth traveled to Alaska last October for the screening of their films "The World Unseen" and "I Can't Think Straight." (The lesbian content in these films was mentioned as one reason a funder pulled $80,000 from Out North shortly thereafter.) The pair, impressed by the sold out houses and warm welcome they received, return again to show us their newest work.
June 10 and 11, Come mingle with these independent artists and watch the film "Three Veils" during a weekend of film-related events Sponsored by the Pride Foundation, and in support of Out North's Intersections film series.
Expect a good time, because we'll be grilling Alaska meat, dishing out vegan food, pouring wine, and showing a great film.

 "Three Veils" centers on three Middle Eastern women living in the U.S., each with her own story about culture, family, love, faith, sexuality and more. It aims to portray the characters as human beings first, women second, and their cultural surroundings as veils that dictate how much of their inner selves are revealed.
