A event held at Watershed on Saturday 27th August. The event starts at 17:30.
Queen of Glory (15)
Dir: Nana Mensah, 78 mins, USA
Writer/director/actor Nana Mensah demonstrates her remarkable talent in this self-assured and charming comedy about a Ghanaian-American woman's life that is thrown into disarray when she inherits her mother's Christian bookshop.
Doctoral student Sarah (Mensah) is weeks away from following her married boyfriend to Ohio. When her mother dies suddenly, she inherits her Christian bookshop, and finds herself back in her childhood home of the Bronx. As she struggles with funeral arrangements (for both a 'white people funeral' and a traditional Ghanaian ceremony) and tries to get rid of the shop, she beings to re-evaluate her life... and regain a connection to her culture.
A heartfelt story of grief, belonging, and self-discovery that breathes new life into the tropes of millenial comedy.
We are delighted writer/director/star Nana Mensah joins us for a Q&A after the Sat 27 Aug 17:20 screening. Presented in partnership with We Are Parable.
The film screens from Fri 26 - Sun 28 Aug.
