Written and directed by journalist Rahul Ejaz, the short film is one of the few films shot in a regional language. The director says the film portrays themes of grief, loss, death and music. “The film does not intend to serve a single purpose but leave it on viewers to take away whatever touches them.”
‘A Train Crosses the Desert’ was made in a day on a very small budget. The cast includes Tariq Raja, Nadia Hussain and Arshad Shaikh. The film will release online in Pakistan after the international festival season is over.
