The President's Cake
Friday, July 17 · 8:45 PM · Fort Greene
A 2025 Caméra d'Or winner at Cannes, this directorial debut follows 9-year-old Lamia in 1990s Iraq as she's chosen to prepare a cake for President Saddam Hussein's birthday. Despite war and food shortages, she must use her wits and imagination to gather the scarcely-available ingredients.
