‘No Good Men’ opens the festival
The festival’s opening film, “No Good Men,” is said to be the “first Afghan romantic comedy.” It features an unusual combination of feel-good feminist vibes amid the Taliban takeover of Aghanistan in 2021. Director Shahrbanoo Sadat, who also has a lead role in the film, poses with co-stars, Anwar Hashimi and the young Liam Hussaini, on the red carpet before the world premiere held on February 12.
