Tribeca Film Festival
New York, NY
The oft-told story of immigrants adapting to life in the U.S. and the inevitable clashes between traditional older generations and more adaptable youths is given a new, often humorous twist in this story that focuses on the travails of Afghan Americans. It was Afghanistan's first-ever Oscar® entry for Best Foreign Language Film, and was completed after the death of its director, who was brutally murdered in New York in October 2001.

Nilofar in the Rain

New York, NY
Nilofar, a beautiful Afghan refugee in Pakistan, weds Shapour, another Afghan living in exile in Paris. But their marriage turns into a bitter emotional battleground when, after years spent in the U.S., her father comes to rejoin her. This no-budget effort overcomes limited technical means to depict the emotional entanglements of its characters with great subtlety and deftly shows how war can permanently change families even if it only plays a small part in their lives.
Tribeca Film Festival
Apr 30-May 6 Afghan Stories - The Movie
