In Flames - writer director Zarrar Kahn on his women-centred film at Cannes 2023

Описание: #InFlames #Cannes2023 #ZarrarKahn

THIS film set in Karachi in Pakistan had its world premiere at the Directors’ Fortnight section of the Cannes Film Festival 2023.
Directed and written by Zarrar Khan, who grew up in Canada, it depicts a mother (Fariha- Bakhtawar Mahzar) and her daughter (Mariam – Ramesha Nawal) navigate the difficulties of life, following the death of their patriarch – Mariam’s grandfather and it also explores the early death of her father and Fariha’s husband, who was a high-ranking police officer.
Kahn says he was inspired to make the movie following his family’s relocation to Pakistan from Canada – as he says, speaking immediately after its world premiere in Cannes – the lives of his female family members changed considerably.
The film is also about a nascent blossoming romance that is dealt a shocking and sudden blow – and its repercussions.
This video was shot on the phone and Kahn’s comments (without enhanced sound) can be found on our Twitter feed (in real time from Cannes) and The two other videos – Nawal and Bakhtawar will be published as well – make sure you subscribe and don’t miss these. These have only been published on our Youtube channel today (June 19).
