The Afghan filmmaker Sahraa Karimi, who recently fled Afghanistan after the Taliban took over, still wishes that she can return to her country eventually. Karimi, the first female chairperson of the Afghan Film organisation, has been attending multiple events virtually including the Venice Film Festival and the Toronto International film Festival to share her experience as a refugee and how she hopes to get support for Afghan cinema and its filmmakers in the process.
Karimi still wonders if she holds her position at Afghan Film under the Taliban-controlled government. She said, “This is the reality. They don’t tell me that I am not the general director of Afghan Film but they don’t tell me anything else,” reports Wion.
