REFUGEE WEEK: The List/Talking with Rivers Screening

Intro and Q&A with directors Mohsen Makhmalbaf and Hana Makhmalbaf, hosted by Victor Fraga of Dirty Movies

Two new films from the Makhmalbaf Film House explore the state of Afghanistan, its historical association with Iran and the terrible plight of its people as a result of colonial wars.

Talking with Rivers

A film essay by director Mohsen Makhmalbaf featuring a poetic conversation between two neighbouring nations, Iran and Afghanistan, as they consider their shared and troubled history.

The List

Directed by Mohsen Makhmalbaf.

Film director Mohsen Makhmalbaf negotiates with international agencies and embassies for refugee relief in this unsettling portrait of artists attempting to flee Afghanistan following the sudden US and allied withdrawal in 2021.
