The Journey to the Kafiristan 7/19,18:30 Proudly brought to you by the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany In 1939, an ethnographer, Annemarie, and a writer, Ella, set off on a journey in a car to Kabul, Afghanistan. Their love for each other grows as they travel along the Silk Road, but the dark shadows of WWII creep up on them. Annemarie keeps on traveling further down the Silk Road and finds what she was seeking-Kafiristan, a land that has its own religion and customs, isolated from the surrounding Islamic world. The film is based on an existing diary by an anthroplogist, and successfully captures the atmosphere of the era. Directed by Jene Seberg, Fosco Dubini, and Donatello Dubini. 　 Dir./Fosco Dubini and Donatello Dubini 2001/GERMANY 35mm/105min 　 <back>
