Letter From Your Far-Off Country (2020): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 2020, Letter From Your Far-Off Country is a notable film.

What it’s about. Drawing upon a rich repository of images—from digital renderings of Kashmir’s mountains to the textured materiality of 16mm hand-processing and direct animation techniques—Letter From Your Far-Off Country maps a hidden vein of shared political commitment and diasporic creative expression, linking a poem by the Kashmiri American writer Agha Shahid Ali, interviews with the filmmaker’s father, and a letter addressed to Prabhakar Sanzgiri, a leader of India’s Communist party and a distant relative of the filmmaker.

Who’s in it. Letter From Your Far-Off Country stars Shabana Azmi as Self (archive footage).
