Pakistani music documentary coming to Sydney Film Festival
Hi Syed, I'm the co-director of a documentary called Song of Lahore. It's a brand new documentary co-directed by Pakistani Oscar winner Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, about a group of Lahori musicians brought together to keep their music alive. An unexpected hit album leads them to New York, where they perform with Wynton Marsalis at Jazz at Lincoln Center.
Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy
Our world premiere was in New York at
the Tribeca Film Festival, and we are screening next at the Sydney Film
Festival on June 11th and 13th. If you have any ideas for how to promote this
within the Pakistani community in Sydney, it would be greatly appreciated.
Tickets are available here: http://tix2.sff.org.au/session_sff.asp?sn=Song+of+Lahore&g_cdr=1
