Pakistan’s Taliban Generation



Directed and Filmed by: Dan Edge / Urdu and Hindi with English Subtitles



Filmmaker Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy investigates how the war on terror is
creating a generation of child terrorists in her homeland – children
prepared to kill both inside and outside Pakistan. With the recent
attack in Lahore on the Sri Lankan cricket team, last year’s massive
suicide bombing in Islamabad and assault on Mumbai, Pakistan’s radical
Islamists are bringing violence to the major cities of Pakistan and
beyond.



Dove Days



Directed by: Barri Cohen / 48 Mins / Hindi with English Subtitels



The film takes a critical view of the role of western media in selling
war and blood, especially after 9-11. The story focuses on the peace
efforts of street theatre "Insan Natak" of the Insan Foundation,
Pakistan, for establishing peace in the region, with special focus on
Pak-India relations.

Firaaq



Directed by: Nandita Das / Mins / Hindi with English Subtitles



The story is set over a 24-hour period, one month after a campaign
that took place in Gujarat, India, in 2002. It traces the emotional
journey of ordinary people- some who were victims, some perpetrators
and some who choose to watch silently. As an ensemble film, it
fo9llows multiple narratives that are at some times interconnected and
at times discreet, yet all are united by their spatial and emotional
context.
