First international English feature film from Pakistan!

KASHF chronicles the story of one man's journey towards Sufism, parallel to another man's search for success. Armaghan was born out of an oath his mother made to a Sufi Pir she meets when she was childless. Armaghan returns to Pakistan to discover a lost culture, a mystic religion, and a family secret. His cousin, Ali, also seeks his own calling in the nepotistic film world of Lollywood and becomes engulfed by fantastical musical hallucinations.

ALI MACGRAW who saw the film at the Santa Fe Film Festival called it Â“a huge and impressive accomplishment. I was fascinated to see the many aspects of Pakistan which are not normally accessible to us on our television reportageÂ…a riveting film."

REVIEW BY WHIRLEDVIEW OF KASHF:

The film Kashf: The Lifting of the Veil is a captivating homage to a Pakistan of tolerance, grace, aspiration and good humor, a Sufi-influenced Pakistan that is tragically under threat today from violent, grimly-puritanical, Saudi-financed salafism. So real and well-publicized is the political black veil of looming Talibanization that most outsiders see Pakistan only in those terms. http://whirledview.typepad.com/whirledview/2009/01/moviegoers-gift-kashf-or-the-lifting-of-the-veil.html

An awful effort!!

OK-- This is truly an awful effort; the direction is lackluster and the movie does not go anywhere. I had a chance to meet the director and she was quite all over the place with her comments and answers for the question and answer session. I just feel the movie could have been so much better and could have offered much much more. I know it was made with a tight budget but better films can be and have been made with tighter budgets. Take for example Bahman Gohbadi's first try-- A Time for Drunken Horses. Anyway, loose direction has never made for a "critically" acclaimed movie like this...I wonder who have "critically" acclaimed this one? What awards it has won? I know only one which it has won, for editing, in a pretty lousy film festival in Santa Fe. I would have given it at least 5 stars if not for this "critically acclaimed" robe. It somehow does not suit it.
