“yaya/ayat explores identities, being lost in translation and distance”

yaya/ayat explores identities, being lost in translation and distance. But at its core it's about the filmmaker longing for a relationship with her geographically distant grandma and her journey to Greece to find her. This is an experimental documentary about how being a part of any diaspora shapes a person's identity.

Directed by Hagere Selam (shimby) Zegeye-Gebrehiwot
