EBRD's first event devoted to Tajikistan

Join HE Ambassador Masud Khalifazoda and members of the Tajik community in London for the EBRD's first cultural event devoted to the country.

The EBRD screened the well-received, short Tajik film “The Crying of Tanbur” (20 minutes, Tajik/Russian, English subtitles) - the true story of a family tragedy during the civil war in post-Soviet Tajikistan. The guest for a brief discussion of the film was its young director Anisa Sabiri. Ms. Sabiri won the “Best Director” award at the 3rd Annual “Imagine This Women’s Int’l. Film Festival”.

The screening and discussion were followed by a Tajik musical concert by the group “Shams" - including a singer and five musicians.
             
This event was organised by the EBRD Cultural Programme and the Embassy of the Republic of Tajikistan to the UK.
