Our River...Our Sky

Screening as part of our Found in Translation series, Our River…Our Sky is the first internationally co-produced narrative feature film written and directed by a female filmmaker of Iraqi origin – the London-based film producer / director / editor Maysoon Pachachi. Co-written with Irada Al-Jubori - a Baghdad-based writer of fiction - the film offers an authentic insider’s perspective to the contemporary Iraqi narrative.


In 2012, the script won the $100,000 IWC Schaffhausen Gulf Filmmaker Award at Dubai International Film Festival - presented to the film’s director by Head of Jury, Cate Blanchett.


In a typically mixed Baghdadi neighbourhood, the stories of a novelist and her neighbours unfold and intersect, as their lives are torn apart by extreme sectarian violence while nightly curfews trap them inside their homes.
