Caravanserai Brings “Made in Pakistan” to American Audiences
World-renowned documentary producer and director Ayesha Khan continues her nation-wide five city tour to present her award winning film, Made in Pakistan.
Ms. Khan’s film residency is part of Caravanserai: A place where cultures meet, a groundbreaking artistic and cultural exchange program presented by Arts Midwest, the nonprofit Regional Arts Organization (RAO) serving America’s upper Midwest.
Caravanserai is funded by a one million dollar grant from the Doris Duke Foundation for Islamic Art (DDFIA) Building Bridges program.
During her US tour filmmaker Ayesha Khan will screen and discuss her insightful and surprising documentary film Made in Pakistan which follows the lives of four young, middle-class Pakistanis during Pervez Musharraf’s state of emergency in 2007.
Winner of the Audience Choice Award for Best Documentary at the South Asian International Film Festival in New York, Made in Pakistan is a riveting glimpse into life in Pakistan—a country where politics, fashion, religion, debate and tradition intermingle.
Programming for Caravanserai began in October 2011 with a tour of Qawal Najmuddin Saifuddin & Brothers and percussion masters Tari Khan Ensemble.
Following the film residencies for Ayesha Khan and Made in Pakistan, Caravanserai will continue with concerts by celebrated contemporary folk singers Arif Lohar and Arooj Aftab.
