Content: Chicago, we’re bringing Saffron Kingdom to you for a very special first. Join us for an immersive screening of the film accompanied by a live, in-person score performed by the original composers from Intercultural Music Chicago (@interculturalmusic ) — Ronnie Malley (oud) (@ronniemalley) Habibullah Wardak (rabab), George Lawler (tumbak), and Eve Monzingo (santoor) — the ensemble that shaped the film’s haunting soundscape. The evening will conclude with an intimate in-conversation Q&A with Arfat Sheikh, producer and director of the film, offering deeper insight into the story, the music, and the realities that inspired it. This is more than a screening — it’s a collective experience of cinema, music, and dialogue. 🎟️ Tickets are limited, so we strongly encourage you to get yours now.
