Kabul, Dec 30, IRNA -- Iranian renowned film director Mohsen Makhmalbaf is to make six short films in Afghanistan.

Afghanistan's famous actor Homayoun Paeez told IRNA that the films "Victim", "Kabul's cinema" are among the films covered by Makhmalbaf's project.

Makhmalbaf is now examining the scenario proposed to him, he noted.

The films would mainly focus on the situation in which the Afghan children live, he explained.

He went on to say that Makhmalbaf's aim is to contribute to the premonition of the Afghanistan cinema by considering the move to make films in and on Afghanistan.

The veteran filmmaker Makhmalbaf whose film "Journey to Kandahar" has won great success in the world following the September 11 attacks is encouraging donors to to consider measures to meet at least the basic human needs of the poor nations including Afghanistan.

Makhmalbaf's film `Journey to Kandahar' which narrates the story of a woman called Nafaas, was made before the September 11 terrorist attacks on the U.S. and the ensuing military operations against Taliban.

"Journey to Kandahar" which was made on the Iran-Afghan border displays the story of an Afghan woman refugee intending to return to Afghanistan from the West but fails to do so.

The film is said to reflect the conflict between tradition and modernism. It portrays the fate of an Afghan woman who is one of the millions of Afghan refugees in the West.

Nafaas visits Canada to make the voice of her sisters in Afghanistan heard by the world. She then attempts to return to Kabul, clad in the Taliban-posed veil known as Burqa, but doesn't succeed.

On the occasion of the Year of Dialogue among Civilizations aimed at promotion of cultural activities, Iranian film 'Journey to Kandahar' was screened recently at the auditorium of the United Nations General Assembly in Geneva.

The film was viewed by hundreds of cultural and artistic authorities, film and art critics, journalists, media men, diplomats and U.N. officials.
