Saffron Kingdom – Film Screening & Conversation on Kashmir

Kashmir Peace and Solidarity Council Ireland (KPSC Ireland) invites you to a special screening of Saffron Kingdom, an independent movie produced and directed by Arfat Sheikh, under Daffodil Studios.

Saffron Kingdom explores the experiences of the Kashmiri diaspora and the complex political and human dimensions of Kashmir. Through storytelling and cinema, the film offers a Kashmiri-American perspective and seeks to challenge established narratives about Kashmir often portrayed in mainstream popular cinema.

Described as the first Kashmiri-American film, Saffron Kingdom brings questions of identity, displacement, belonging, memory and political conflict to the screen, providing audiences with an opportunity to engage with Kashmir through a distinctly diasporic perspective.

Saffron Kingdom completed its screenings in different parts of the world.
