Talish: Award Winning Film Screening and Q&A Session with Director Ali Sattar
Step into a surreal psychological thriller that blurs the lines between power, isolation and inner reckoning. Talish follows the haunting tale of a powerful businessman mysteriously trapped in a desolate shack in the heart of a desert. As the sands close in and time walks, the question looms: will he escape — or will he confront the reality he has long avoided?
Join us for the screening of this award-winning short film, followed by a conversation with its director Ali Sattar — a celebrated filmmaker, screenwriter and cinematographer. With over a decade of experience in the Pakistani entertainment industry and a long list of international accolades, Ali brings a distinctive voice to contemporary storytelling.
Talish has garnered critical acclaim, including Best Director at Gandhara International Film Festival 2023, Jury’s Selection at Berlin Lift-Off Film Festival 2023 and Best National Film at the 2024 Turkey Edition of Islamabad International Film Festival.
Come witness a film that grips, questions and lingers.
