Jamila
by Ingeborg Jansen. The Netherlands, 2004, 14 min, Beta SP New
York première
With charm and sincerity, Jamila conveys
the joys and conflicts of its title character, a gifted soccer-playing
Muslim girl living in the Netherlands. Unfettered by her veil, it
is a struggle over shorts versus track pants that leads Jamila and
her proud, supportive, yet strictly observant father to debate gender
equality and religious practice. In Dutch with English subtitles.
