Original title: Аз «Алла» то «Вобалам»
Directed by Anisa Sabiri
Duration 45’ | Tajik with English subtitles
Tajikistan is home to a rich and complex culture. Traditional practices dating back to Zoroastrian times have been kept alive, evolving sometimes naturally and sometimes in response to the changing demands of Soviet, Islamic and capitalist influence. With an emphasis on musical traditions, we meet experts and local people in remote areas who explain and demonstrate their traditions, and witness funerals, fire ceremonies and weddings.
Anisa Sabiri worked as a tour guide in the Pamir mountains while building a profile as an award-winning author, PEN congress speaker, cultural activist and photographer. Her short film The Crying of Tanbur, focusing on the aftermath of the Tajik Civil War, was featured in a number of international festivals where it won several awards.
