MONTREAL: Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, renowned Pakistani filmmaker, added another feather to her cap as her short film ‘HOME1947’ won the prize of Best Film  (Short Documentary) at the South Asian Film Festival of Montreal 2020 (SAFFM 2020).

According to the makers, “HOME1947 is a deeply personal exploration of the lives and stories of the millions that were displaced in 1947 during the creation of two new independent states, India and Pakistan.”

HOME1947 recreates the long-lost sights and sounds of what millions once called home and explores this world not through the words of historians and politicians, but through the eyes of those who lived through it,” adds the statement.
