Join us for a screening of In Flames at Harris Theater, a haunting examination of the intersection between personal trauma and societal oppression in Pakistan. After Miriam's father dies, she and her mother Fariha are left vulnerable, facing a growing sense of dread that blurs the line between supernatural menace and real-world threats. This film starkly portrays the gender dynamics and violence that women face, offering a powerful, socially relevant narrative that debuted at Cannes in 2023.

This film is part of the SCREENSHOT: Asia Film Festival, which takes place September 25-29. All films are free for Pitt students, staff, and faculty with a valid Pitt ID. Registration in advance is requested but not required. For the full schedule of films, please visit screenshot.pitt.edu.
