The 11th edition of the Afghan Film Festival, titled “Gan,” has concluded after six days of screenings in three Australian cities.
The festival ended on Sunday evening, November 8, in Melbourne, Australia.
Of the 29 films submitted to this edition of the festival, three short films, two feature-length documentaries and one feature-length fiction film were selected as the outstanding works.
The films were screened over six days in three cities: Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide.
The festival received an enthusiastic response from asylum seekers from Afghanistan and Australian citizens.
In addition, tens of thousands of people learned about the situation in Afghanistan, the country’s cinema and the lesser-known stories of people’s lives through social media.
In addition to showcasing the works of filmmakers from Afghanistan, the Gan Festival also focuses on preserving the history and identity of migrants, supporting women and street children from Afghanistan, and expanding discussions about the future of the country’s cinema.
