The International Relations Commission 2025 Reel Time Film Series takes us back to the Communist era in Afghanistan (1978-1991), where films were weapons, filmmakers were targets, and the dreams of constantly shifting political regimes merged with the stories told onscreen. What We Left Unfinished explores five unfinished feature films from this period. It also pays tribute to a tight-knit group of Afghan filmmakers who loved cinema enough to risk their lives for art. Merging newly rediscovered and restored footage from these lost films with present-day interviews, the filmmakers take us we behind the scenes with stories and new footage shot in the same locations by some of the same people — action scenes shot with real bullets, ex-agents hired to play spies, Afghani military restaging a Communist coup d’état. What price did the Afghan filmmakers pay for the benefits they gained under Communism? Why did they persist despite the risks they faced? And do they still believe that film can save Afghanistan from the divisions tearing it apart today? A virtual Q&A with the filmmaker Mariam Ghani will follow the screening.
