NEW VISIONS
Series: 2007 Human Rights Watch International Film Festival [Jun. 15 – 28, 2007]


A Sundance Documentary Film Program
"Work-in-Progress" Screening
The Human Rights Watch International Film Festival is proud to present the first special event in an ongoing collaboration with the Sundance Institute Documentary Film Program (DFP) showcasing scenes from two much-anticipated films supported by the DFP that explore the question of faith and the Muslim experience today.

The filmmaking teams will present segments from their films followed by a discussion of the issues surrounding their controversial works, as well as experiences and insights into collaborative filmmaking. Joining them in this discussion will be Cara Mertes (director, DFP) and Bruni Burres (director, HRWIFF).

In his debut documentary feature, Parvez Sharma presents A Jihad for Love. He and producer Sandi Simcha DuBowski will discuss the complexities of making a documentary filmed in 12 different countries and in nine languages, which is the first-ever feature-length documentary to explore the complex global intersections of Islam and homosexuality. (DuBowski directed Trembling Before G-d, featured on closing night, HRWIFF 2001).

From directors Senain Kheshgi and Geeta V. Patel comes Project Kashmir––a feature documentary in which the directors, two American friends from opposite sides of the divide, investigate the war in Kashmir and find their friendship tested over deeply rooted religious biases they never had to face in the U.S. Project Kashmirexplores war between countries and war within oneself by delving into the fraught lives of young people caught in the social/political conflict of one of the most beautiful, and most deadly, places on earth––Kashmir.
