The Syed Family Xmas Eve Game Night (2021) dir. Fawzia Mirza, 11 min.

The film stars Kausar Mohammed as Noor, a queer Muslim woman who brings her Puerto Rican partner Luz (Vico Ortiz) home to a family gathering for the first time. The film was written by Mohammed, partially based on her own life.

“Well, I have two [older] sisters whom I love very, very, much. I also have a partner that I love very much, my girlfriend. The first Christmas that I introduced my partner to my middle sister, everything was great. But being there and having the anxiety of bringing someone you love to meet someone you look up to so much, it had my mind thinking up all these things that could go wrong.  A Taboo game going wrong was one of them, so was a chai battle. That’s how I came up with the idea for this short.” -Kausar Mohammed[x]

Dorothy Arzner (January 3, 1897 – October 1, 1979) was an American film director. Her directorial career in feature films spanned from the late 1920s into the early 1940s. Throughout that time she was the only woman working in the field.

She left Paramount in 1932 to begin work as an independent director for several of the studios. The films launched the careers of many actresses, including Katherine Hepburn, Rosalind Russell, Sylvia Sidney and Lucille Ball. In 1936, Arzner became the first woman to join the newly formed Directors Guild of America.

Dorothy Arzner was a lesbian, and well known in the Hollywood community though little attention was paid to it publicity. She cultivated a masculine look in her clothes and appearance. 

She had been linked romantically with a number of actresses including Joan Crawford,Clara Bow, and Billie Burke, but lived much of her life with her companion, choreographer Marion Morgan.

Arzner died, aged 82, in California.
