Panel discussion
Film and Television Production in Afghanistan
Shakiba Adil, Ingenieur Latif Ahmadi, Roya Sadat
Since 2001, women are for the first time behind the camera again and host television programmes. What themes do they address? What does it mean to them to assert this profession in their families, and how do they deal with daily threats? What role do private initiatives play next to state-run organisations such as Afghan Film or public television? And how do international relief organizations, who are among the most important financial backers, influence Afghan film production?
