Shahzad

Directed by Haya Waseem
Canada, 2015 (fiction, 12 minutes, colour, English / Urdu)

Film Description:
"Shahzad has recently arrived in Canada from Pakistan. While he transitions easily into his new school, this stands in stark contrast to his home, where his relationship with his father is formal and detached. One day, when Shahzad arrives home, he starts to understand that their relationship has to do with more with his father's own feelings than with Shahzad."
-- Toronto International Film Festival (source)
