A Sneak Into Lineup of the First Section Of My Karachi Film Festival
Each film has something special to offer in the Special Screening Section of MKFF, whether it’s through festival honors, awards attention, or is scheduled to screen for the first time ever in the world.
The Festival will start with the World Premiere of a film from Iran, Dance With Me. Its a Film that takes its viewers into the shoes of those who live with the challenge of visual impairment and yet strive to be a ray of hope for others while illuminating their own world with their unique shine.
Moreover, its world premiere status subtly reinforces its place and the festival’s confidence in its message; this opening film places My Karachi Film Festival on the map alongside other major international festivals.
Following the Iranian film is another Short Film, Crack In The Light from Pakistan. Its story explores how some encounters set off a chain of choices and grief that stay long after we move on with life. Scheduled next in this section is Between Earth and Sky, a USA production that was also shortlisted for an Oscar in the Documentary Short category and is all set to bring an extra spark to the festival. This film is a beautiful blend of science, nature, and, unexpectedly, a journey of self-discovery.
Last but definitely not least is an eighteen-minute fiction short Film A.O.C., directed by Samy Sidali, that focuses on how a stressful and conflicting situation of acquiring French citizenship is handled through humor and a light, positive attitude.
The lineup of these films aims to have a positive impact on its viewers, leaving its audience with a renewed outlook on life.
