Sara is an Iranian-American filmmaker and community activist. She uses storytelling through filmmaking as a means of community building in her neighborhood by running a weekly film screening series called The Flickering Light (TFL). The Flickering Light offers an opportunity to filmmakers from around the world to exhibit their work to local audiences year round, particularly to those whose work is marginalized even in independent film circles. The series is also building community by reviving an empty unused building and adding to the cultural opportunities in her neighborhood.
