Valley of Saints: Film Screening and Q&A with Director, Musa Syeed

In war-torn Kashmir, a lakeside city is plunged into a military curfew. Stranded together on breathtaking Dal Lake, a working-class boatman and a beautiful young scientist form an unlikely bond. But as violence spills in from the city, their budding romance may not survive.

A blend of feature and documentary, Valley of Saints has won numerous awards, including the Audience Award at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival.

The film screening will be followed by a discussion with director, Musa Syeed.
