About
Synopsis
Fremont (2023), directed by Babak Jalali, is an American indie drama you can watch online on iFILM. Donya, played by Anaita Wali Zada, is an Afghan refugee in her twenties living in Fremont, California. She used to interpret for US forces in Kabul. Now she writes the slips of paper that go inside fortune cookies.
Shot in black and white, the film moves at the pace of her insomnia. Jeremy Allen White turns up as a local mechanic in a quietly odd performance, and Gregg Turkington rounds out the cast as her eccentric therapist. The film premiered at Sundance 2023 and plays best for viewers who can sit with silence and find meaning in the small rituals of a displaced life. Stream Fremont online on iFILM.
