If all goes well, we’ll watch two films in which all goes bad. Both films are written and directed by women. (Post now updated to include links to films).

Stray Dogs (2004) سگ‌های ولگرد

93 min, Dari with hardcoded English subtitles Writer/Director: Marzieh Makhmalbaf

In post-Taliban Kabul, a brother and sister try to survive every day by scavenging for food. Their father is in jail for fighting the U.S., and their mother is jailed for remarrying when she thought her husband had died.

Winner of the 2004 Venice Film Festival Open Prize

The Voice of Hind Rajab (2025) صوت هند رجب

89 min, Arabic & English with hardcoded English subtitles Writer/Director: Kaouther Ben Hania

January 29, 2024: Red Crescent volunteers (think ‘ambulance dispatchers’) are frustrated by Israeli requirements to send rescue for Palestinians. This film uses actors to reconstruct a call from a five-year old girl trapped in a car under fire in Gaza. The actual recordings with Hind Rajab are also used.

Winner of the 2025 Venice Film Festival Silver Lion plus 8 other Venice awards
