Afghan Ladies' Driving School
directed by Sean Langan, fl. 2006; produced by Ben Rumney, fl. 2006 (London, England: BBC Worldwide, 2006), 59 mins
Mr Mamozai's Driving School is the first driving school in Kabul to teach both men and women how to drive. And probably the only driving school for women in the world that is run by men who don't really think women should drive at all. But then the driving instructors at Mr Mamozai's are all ex-Taliban, so clearly...

Mr Mamozai's Driving School is the first driving school in Kabul to teach both men and women how to drive. And probably the only driving school for women in the world that is run by men who don't really think women should drive at all. But then the driving instructors at Mr Mamozai's are all ex-Taliban, so clearly this is no ordinary driving school. The programme provides a revealing look at how life has in some ways radically changed for women in Afghanistan since the collapse of the Taliban, but in other ways, remains difficult. At times hilarious, and shocking, this documentary charts the women's struggle in a male-dominated world, but also puts a human face on a country often in the news.

Nationalism, with its sense of unity, is something third world nations and those that have lived under colonialism don't take for granted. For many it is still an ambition. Made in 1976, this film examines the basic philosophies of President Soekarno and the nationalistic principals that no one had as yet succeeded in transforming into practical reality in Indonesia.

This film profiles the oldest auction house in India as it fights for survival in the age of the Internet. It follows the owners, brothers Anwer and Arshad, struggling to save their family business and a piece of India's heritage. Elder brother Anwer recently returned to his homeland after a long career in the UK. He is desperate to revive the fortunes of his family's beloved auction house, which his grandfather purchased from the British in 1940. But in the process he must contend with a chaotic city, an ailing workforce, and his quarrelsome younger brother. Arshad, India's longest-standing auctioneer, has worked at the Russell Exchange since the 1960s and knows the world of antiques inside and out. Although steeped in the city's traditions, he's skeptical about Anwer's plans for reform. He believes that their city is in terminal decline and that the auction house is destined to die along with it. As the brothers come to terms with their futures, and each other, their amusing, argumentative, and ultimately heartfelt relationship raises larger questions about the place of traditional family businesses in the 21st century economy.

Bahag Kings

A group of tribal leaders from the jungle search the city like a hard rock band. Or is it a rock group looking for the jungle? The filmmaker was arrested for the film, together with his half naked kings. Funny, unpolished, musical and (hence) also a little bit political.
