i caught the nyc premier of afghan star last night at the human rights watch film fest. it was a great documentary on a variety of levels. examining the history of the country through the 4 main characters and their various backgrounds was quite impressive, as was the portrayal of music in afghanistan under various regimes. some awesome 80’s clips of afghan pop! there are a few days left of the hrw fest and some other good films to see this week, while afghan star is about to be released locally and nationally. highly recommended. info…
A Zeitgeist Films release, Afghan Star will theatrically premiere in New York City at Cinema Village on June 26 with a national roll-out to follow. For more information, please visit www.zeitgeistfilms.com/afghanstar/.
