Rashid Latif

Rashid Latif, whose name the sources also write Reshid Latif or Latifi, is a pioneer of Afghan theatre and an activist of the Wesh Zalmian political movement. He wrote and directed this film, which opens the history of the country's cinema, with actors from the Kabul stage; for lack of money and state support, the team could not continue afterwards, despite the good reception given to this first attempt. Studies devoted to early Kabul cinema cite him under all three spellings, and online archives keep his name in the credits of the surviving excerpts.
