Not At Home
Sat, Jan 29 | 7:30pm | TMT
Codirected with Sadat’s producing partner, Katja Adomeit, Not At Home is a hybrid documentary. This genre-bending approach to filmmaking continues throughout Sadat’s work, as she works with first-time actors and emphasizes naturalism in her screenplays. Here Sadat and Adomeit follow a family with four daughters in Kabul, along with the story of a young refugee in a German displaced persons camp. Sadat drew on her close friend’s experience leaving Afghanistan to create this layered narrative.

Wolf and Sheep
Sat, Jan 29 | 9:30pm | TMT
Sadat’s fiction debut is immersed in the world of a group of shepherd children in a remote village in Afghanistan. The youth live in awe of the legendary Kashmir wolf, who is said to walk on two legs and shapeshift into the form of a beautiful fairy. Sadat visually weaves in this fantastical lore while anchoring the film in a documentary-like feel, as we follow two youths, Qodrat and Sediqa. But while the village lives in fear of the wolves, in the end it’s not this animal they must run from.
DIRECTOR: Shahrbanoo Sadat.
CAST: Sediqa Rasuli, Qodratollah Qadiri, Amina Musavi, Sahar Karimi. 2016. 86 mins. Afghanistan/ Denmark/Sweden/France. Color. Hazaragi. DCP.
