Actress, Filmmaker Ayesha Khan Coming to Providence
Saturday, February 04, 2012
FirstWorks will bring Pakistani actress and filmmaker Ayesha Khan to Providence next week to showcase her latest film, Made In Pakistan, and join local filmmakers and artists in a wide-raning panel discussion. Both events are part of Caravanserai, the international outreach and arts collaboration hosted in New England by FirstWorks.
Made in Pakistan
This 60-minute documentary directed by Nasir Khan and produced by Ms. Khan, follows the lives of four young, middle-class Pakistanis during Pervez Musharraf ’s state of emergency in 2007. Winner of the Audience Choice Award for Best Documentary at the South Asian International Film Festival in New York, Made in Pakistan is a riveting glimpse into life in Pakistan—a country where politics, fashion, religion, debate and tradition intermingle—where one definition of an Islamic State no longer holds true.
Ayesha Khan is the director of feature film KASHF: Lifting of the Veil and executive producer of Made in Pakistan. She is one of Pakistan’s most talented and dynamic young filmmakers.
