The Tenth Annual South Asian International Film Festival runs from Tuesday, December 3rd, 2013 to Sunday, December 8th, 2013 in New York City, at the SVA Theater and NYIT Auditorium.<\/p>\n

Centerpiece Premiere: GOOD MORNING, KARACHI
\nDirected by Sabiha Sumar. 2013. Pakistan. In English and Urdu (with English subtitles). New York Premiere. 85 min.<\/p>\n

Young Rafina is coming of age in Karachi, with chance and willfulness propelling her rise as a runway and billboard model. As she climbs the social ladder, she’s caught between two men with very different visions of Pakistan – and the role of women. Arif, a partier, dreams of a better world through political action, but is molded by a traditionalism that doesn’t account for her dreams. Urbane and ambitious Jamal is convinced the fashion industry can help women shed their chadors and lead Pakistan into the modern world.<\/p>\n

Rafina’s story becomes the story of the people living in Karachi who try to reconcile the demands of tradition and the aspirations of modernity. The film weaves this contradiction not only through its characters and their turbulent lives, but through the very landscape of Karachi, where political extremism and fashion, convention and novelty can – and do – co-exist.<\/p>\n
