Background
Afghan Film, also known as Afghan Film Organization (AFO), is Afghanistan's state-run film company, established in 1968. Before the fall of Kabul to the Taliban, the president was Sahraa Karimi, who attained a PhD in Cinema from the Academy of Performing Arts in Bratislava and is its first female president.
It is also a film archive. Many of its contents were destroyed by the Taliban, although some staff members saved valuable films risking their own lives. A number of rescue and archival efforts were chronicled in the 2015 documentary A Flickering Truth. An eight-day film festival was launched on August 3, 2019, showcasing 100 films around different cinemas in the country in celebration of the country's 100th anniversary of independence.
Notably, after the Taliban took over the country in 2021, they also took over Afghan Film, thus making this company the only remaining film company in the Taliban's Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. Today, the Taliban-led Afghan Film mainly produce documentaries.[1]
