Acclaimed Film 'Fremont' To Be Screened Monday, Tuesday

FREMONT, CA — The Fremont Main Library will screen the award-winning film Fremont from 6 to 8 p.m. on Monday and Tuesday.

Fremont is a darling of film festivals, including:

• winner of the Grand Jury Prize for Narrative Feature by Independent Film Festival Boston 2023
• winner for Best Director by Karlovy Vary International Film Festival 2023
• nominee for Next Innovator Award by Sundance 2023
• nominee for Audience Award by SXSW 2023

IMDb offers this description of Fremont, "Donya, a former Afghan translator for the U.S. government, lives alone in Fremont, California. When she’s promoted to writing the fortunes at her job at a fortune cookie factory in the city, Donya’s loneliness and longing drive her to send a message out in a cookie, unsure where it may lead. Tenderly sculpted and lyrically shot in black-and-white, Babak Jalali’s FREMONT is a wry, deadpan vision of the universal longing for home."
