In her latest feature film, internationally acclaimed Afghan director Roya Sadat tells the story of Afghanistan immediately prior to the 1978 coup d’\u00e9tat through the fate of two women.<\/p>\n

The educated Suraya comes from an influential political family. She shares a deep friendship and a mutual love of Afghan music with her domestic servant\u2019s daughter, Sima, who is a talented singer. The power of Afghan songs is fully expressed in the wonderfully staged concert scenes, overcoming all political differences. Sima joins forces with a young Muslim association, while Suraya fights for justice as chairwoman of the Communist Party\u2019s women\u2019s organisation.<\/p>\n

In Sima\u2019s Song<\/strong>, we learn a lot about the progressive 1970s, when women were part of public and professional life and their everyday lives were modern. A hopeful film in view of the desolate situation for women in today\u2019s Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

People with and without an international history, women with refugee experience, their families and anyone interested in excellent, often rarely shown international films directed by women are warmly invited to the programme.<\/p>\n
