Our 10th panel discussion as part of the 72nd Berlin International Film Festival took place online on February 14th and is available online now on Vimeo.

The filmmakers Shahrbanoo Sadat (»The Orphanage«), Rokhsareh Ghaem Maghami (»Sonita«) and Zamarin Wahdat (»Learning to Skateboard in a Warzone (If You’re a Girl)«, »Bambirak«) were our guests. They reported on their production experiences and discussed how empowering stories and characters beyond catastrophes can also be told in the future.

The exciting event has been moderated by the director of the Nuremberg International Human Rights Film Festival Andrea Kuhn. It’s online available now for free on Vimeo.

The event, held as an associated event of the European Film Market (EFM) in cooperation with the film network LaDOC, also marked the start of the social media campaign #StandwithWomeninAfghanistan. For more information, visit the official website weneedyourhand.com.
