DESCRIPTION:Professors of cinema at Kabul University\, Samiullah Nabipour and Sayed Zubair Hashimi\, will present a selection of films from Afghanistan\, including short films made by the students of Kabul University’s Cinema Studies and Siddiq Barmak’s The Stranger from 1987 to provide some context into the history of Afghan short films and their ability to depict Afghan social norms and culture. \nSamiullah Nabipour is a prominent figure in the fields of culture and art in Afghanistan\, known for his work as a university professor\, researcher\, and activist. He has been a professor at Kabul University for fourteen years and served as the head of the cinema department for six years and the faculty of art for two years.

SUMMARY:Talk: Frédérique Aït-Touati
