Faith-based magazine, Converge, had a look at Brishkay Ahmed‘s Story of Burqa and published a review just before the second DOXA screening on Sunday, May 13. Check out Editor-in-Chief Shara Lee‘s review of Story of Burqa here.

Brishkay Ahmed‘s Story of Burqa is in this week’s WE Vancouver. Click here to read the article online or on the image below.

Schema Magazine has always been a site that isn’t afraid to delve into cultural issues, while still informing readers about the fun events and things going on around town. I’m glad to see that they’ve stepped up the multimedia with some video interviews. Gayatri Bajpai interviewed filmmaker Brishkay Ahmed along with the music composer of Story of Burqa, Chris Hind.

You can read Schema Magazine’s article/review online here and check out the video interview below.

If you’re a filmmaker and you don’t know about PitchPage… well where the heck have you been hiding? As we all know, video is key in the next era of marketing. And PitchPage not only does what YouTube does for laser sword-wielding geeks, but using professional services and equipment.

Roz McNulty interviewed Story of Burqa‘s Brishkay Ahmed about her upcoming DOXA premiere. Check out Brishkay’s interview with PitchPage here, and definitely keep following PitchPage for more film news (and hire them if you need help yourself!)

Joseph Planta runs TheCommentary.ca, a site featuring audio interviews and commentaries with experts from all around the world. Joseph interviewed Brishkay Ahmed (just yesterday!) about her film Story of Burqa and also the history and implications of the burqa. Fantastic discussion – check out The Commentary’s interview with Brishkay Ahmed here.

Propagandist Magazine online is no stranger to controversial issues. And what a better issue to discuss surrounding garments used for propaganda than the burqa itself?

Jonathon Narvey reviewed Brishkay Ahmed’s Story of Burqa, screening this Thursday at 7pm at the DOXA Documentary Festival. Check out the review here.

Marina Antunes of Row Three had a look see at Story of Burqa and did a review today. Check out the review on Row Three here.

The Epoch Times newspaper interviewed Brishkay Ahmed of Story of Burqa and talked about her upcoming world premiere at DOXA on May 10, 7pm. Check out the Epoch Times article here.

Brishkay Ahmed was interviewed by the Courier’s Cheryl Rossi about her film Story of Burqa premiering at DOXA on May 10.
