The rain on your parade

a follow up to abbas’ previous post, just wanted to mention a wonderful documentary on the altnernate “film” industry made by akram zadiq called ‘wild scenes’.

the official synopsis reads:

Untill the late seventies Pashtu cinema revolved around traditional themes such as love stories and heroic tales. During the eighties this changed. The story lines became less complex and the appearance of violence increased, on top of that the curvy actresses became a visual focus point. People working in this movie industry, fans, women and religious activists will give an answer to the following question:What kind of movies are Pashtu films and why is this genre better known as the alternative Lollywood porn industry”

the documentary is extremely well done and highly recommended to watch. depending on where you work/live, this may be classified as not safe for work/family.
