Driving Miss Palmen

Set in the merging worlds of Dutch culture and showbiz, Driving Miss Palmen includes among its cast of characters former Stedelijk director Rudi Fuchs, novelist Connie Palmen, former model Daphne Deckers, and Tracey Emin; all were played by visibly nonplussed Bollywood actors. Focusing on Palmen, Deckers, and Emin as women who turn their lives into a kind of reality TV, Driving Miss Palmen uses the displaced mannerisms of Bollywood acting and staging rather like strategies of Brechtian alienation.

I Can't Think Straight

Tala, a London-based Palestinian, is preparing for her elaborate Middle Eastern wedding when she meets Leyla, a young British Indian woman who is dating her best friend. Spirited Christian Tala and shy Muslim Leyla could not be more different from each other, but the attraction is immediate and goes deeper than friendship. But Tala is not ready to accept the implications of the choice her heart has made for her and escapes back to Jordan, while Leyla tries to move on with her new-found life, to the shock of her tradition-loving parents. As Tala's wedding day approaches, simmering tensions come to boiling point and the pressure mounts for Tala to be true to herself.
