We are thrilled to announce that Hazara Town by first-time filmmaker Khadim Dai is joining our lineup! 🎬✨
The long-awaited film will have its World Premiere this November in the International Competition at IDFA, where it will compete for the IDFA Award for Best Film, the IDFA Award for Best First Feature, and the FIPRESCI Award. 🏆
Hazara Town brings to the screen a story of the Hazara people—one that is far too often absent from mainstream news.
📖 Synopsis:
Twenty years after fleeing Afghanistan, a Hazara family in Pakistan must decide whether to stay together amid growing persecution or leave, one by one, knowing they may never reunite.
Stay tuned for more updates as we approach November! 🍿🌍
Produced by: @Ilyas Yurish for CONGOO (Belgium)
Co-produced by: Khadim Dai; Graeme Isaac for MAYFAN FILMS [Australia]; Anke Petersen and Lilian Tietjen for Jyoti Film GmbH (DE)
