You have two more chances to see the AAAFF 2023 Narrative Feature Jury Prize-Winning FREMONT in its theatrical wide release at AFS Cinema on 9/9 & 9/10.

Beautiful and troubled Donya, an Afghan translator who used to work with the U.S. government, lives by herself in Fremont, California, and has trouble sleeping. Her routine changes when she’s promoted to writing the fortunes at her job at a fortune cookie factory in the city.

As her fortunes are read by strangers throughout the Bay, Donya’s smoldering longing drives her to send a message out to the world, unsure where it will lead.

Shot in gorgeous black-and-white with winning performances from its ensemble cast, Fremont is a slice-of-life film that makes ordinary events compelling.
