Prabhash Chandra, Director

Film screening and Discussion

Part of the Silsila Fall 2024 Program

I am not the River Jhelum shows glimpses of the life of its young protagonist Afeefa living in Kashmir. On the one hand, the film explores the suffocation and trauma experienced by Afeefa in her personal life and, on the other hand, the film evokes the atmosphere of perpetual uncertainty and violence in the milieu. In following the life of Afeefa, the film traces her growing understanding of the forces at play in Kashmir, India.

After the screening of the movie there will be a discussion with the director, Prabhash Chandra.
