Kino Weltsichten: Sima's Song

In the organizer's words:

In her latest feature film, international award-winning Afghan director Roya Sadat tells the story of Afghanistan immediately before the coup d'état in 1978 through the fate of two women. Suraya and Sima share a deep friendship and a common love of Afghan music that transcends all political differences. Sima allies herself with a young Muslim association, while Suraya fights for justice as chairwoman of the Communist Party's women's organization.

Sima's Song tells us a lot about the progressive 1970s, when women were part of public and professional life and their everyday lives were modern. A hope-giving film in view of the desolate situation for women and FLINTAS* in Afghanistan today.

The film will be shown in the original version with English subtitles.

Free admission.
