90 Mins | Jolyon Hoff April
From acclaimed director Jolyon Hoff (SWIFF Live: Surfing Soundwaves, SWIFF’22, The Staging Post, SWIFF’18), comes a deeply touching journey of self-discovery, identity, and connection through the eyes of Afghan refugee, Muzafar Ali.
Muzafar, a father, husband, and photographer living in Rural Australia discovers the rich history of cameleers in Australia, stretching back 160 years. In a bid to understand his own Afghan-Australian identity, he begins to meet with the traumatised yet resilient community, and photograph their descendants, a mix of Aboriginal, Afghan, and Colonial Australian, learning more about Australia’s complicated history.
Muzafar's journey is interrupted when Afghanistan is handed back to the Taliban, as he races to help the friends and colleagues left behind.
“A marvellous film. Loved it.” - Dev Patel
Jolyon Hoff and Muzafar Ali are guests of the festival.
