Jamil Dehlavi
Jamil Dehlavi is an independent filmmaker of Pakistani and French origin. Son of a diplomat who travelled extensively between Asia and Europe, he attended a number of international schools, followed by Rugby School and Oxford University where he graduated with a BA in French Literature & Politics and an MA (Hons) in Jurisprudence. He was then called to the Bar at Lincoln's Inn in London but never practised, preferring instead to enter the world of cinema. He then studied film directing at Columbia University in New York, where he was awarded a Master of Fine Arts. In August this year the British Film Institute held a retrospective of his work. While based in New York Dehlavi trained as an actor with Stella Adler and made his first feature film TOWERS OF SILENCE which he wrote, produced and directed, a practise he has continued with most of his films to date. It was shown at numerous international festivals and won the Grand Prize for Best Experimental Film at the Festival of the Americas. His next film was an abstract essay on tyranny THE BLOOD OF HUSSAIN, a fictional account of a military dictatorship and the revolutionary movement against it. Shot on location, Dehlavi recast the martyrdom of Prophet Muhammad's grandson in the context of modern Pakistan. The film was finished a fortnight before General Zia came to power and for that sin of political clairvoyance, he was forced to leave his country and live in exile. The film was selected by the Director's Fortnight at the Cannes Film Festival, won the Grand Prize at the Taormina film Festival, it was nominated for a Golden Hugo at the Chicago International Film Festival, won a Gold Award at Worldfest Houston and was the Critics' Choice at the London Film Festival. Based in England, his next feature film was BORN OF FIRE for Film Four International, a supernatural thriller starring Oscar-nominated actor Peter Firth as a virtuoso flautist who travels to the wilds of Turkey to engage in a musical battle with a supernatural being threatening to engulf the world in fire. The film was another festival favourite and won prizes at Imagfic Madrid and Worldfest Houston. It was also an Official Selection at Avoriaz and was nominated for a Golden Hugo at the Chicago International Film Festival. Under Benazir Bhutto's government Dehlavi was able to return to Pakistan in 1990 and was commissioned again by Film Four to make IMMACULATE CONCEPTION starring Academy Award winner Melissa Leo, James Wilby, Zia Mohyeddin and Shabana Azmi who is regarded as one of India's finest actresses. It is the story of a childless American-English couple who visit a fertility shrine in Karachi with tragic results. The shoot was not without its own difficulties as the Gulf War had just begun and anti-Western feeling was at its height. Despite the political problems, the film was completed successfully and went on to win the Special Jury Prize at the Dinard Film Festival, a Gold Hugo nomination at the Chicago International Film Festival and was selected for Panorama at the Berlin International Film Festival. In 1994 Dehlavi produced A PASSION IN THE DESERT for American director Lavinia Currier. Shot on location in Jordan the film stars Ben Daniels and renowned French actor Michel Piccoli. Adapted from a Balzac short story, it is set during the Napoleonic Wars and relates the adventures of a French soldier lost in the desert in Egypt and the friendship he develops with a wild leopard. Dehlavi's next feature film project was JINNAH which he wrote, produced and directed in 1998. Starring screen legend Sir Christopher Lee, James Fox, Maria Aitken and acclaimed Bollywood superstar Shashi Kapoor, it is a historical epic which tells the dramatic story of the partition of India and the founding of Pakistan. It received the Grand Prize at the Festival of the Dhow Countries, Best international Film at the World Film Awards in Indonesia, the Gold Award at Worldfest Flagstaff for Best Foreign Film, a Silver Award at Houston, and was nominated for the Golden Pyramid at the Cairo International Film Festival. INFINITE JUSTICE, his next film starring Kevin Collins and Raza Jaffrey was shot on location in New York, London and Karachi. It is the story of a Jewish American journalist who is held for ransom by Muslim fundamentalists against the release of prisoners in Guantanamo Bay. The film received the Fipresci International Critics Prize, the Best European Feature Film Award at the European Independent Film Festival in France, the Robert Rodriguez Prize for Excellence in Hollywood, the Critic's Prize at the Amiens International Film Festival, Best Feature Film at the Florence River to River Festival, the Special Jury Award at Worldfest Houston, and Raza Jaffrey won Best Supporting Actor at the KaraFilm Festival in Pakistan. Dehlavi then made GODFORSAKEN, a supernatural thriller about a fallen angel seeking redemption for the death of a child under his protection. Shot on location in England, it stars Annabel Wright, Trevor White and Nick Ashdon. The film won the Special Jury Remi and Best International Film Award at Worldfest Houston, the Golden Palm Award at the Mexico International Film Festival, it was nominated for Best Feature Film at the European Independent Film Festival in Paris as well as at the Cairo, Beverly Hills and Portobello Film Festivals. Annabel Wright received a Best Actress nomination at the Milan International Film Festival. Dehlavi next feature film was SEVEN LUCKY GODS, a psychological thriller about an illegal immigrant from Albania who infiltrates the lives of a group of Londoners with devastating consequences. The lead is Albania's rising international star Nik Xhelilaj supported by Christopher Villiers, Alison Peebles, Kate Maravan, Alexandra Boyd and Vernon Dobtcheff. This film was awarded the Grand Prize at the Tirana International Film Festival, Best Feature Film at the Canada International Film Festival, the Gold Lion Award at the Barcelona International Film Festival, Best Feature Film at the Delhi International Film Festival, Best Feature Film at the Honolulu Film Awards, the Bronze Palm Award at the Mexico International Film Festival, the Gold Remi Award at Worldfest Houston where Nik Xhelilaj also won Best Lead Actor and Alison Peebles was nominated for Best Actress.

Dehlavi's latest work is BLOOD MONEY, a short thriller based on a true story about an American CIA agent who is arrested in Karachi after shooting a young Pakistani mugger in the street and the US government is obliged to pay two million dollars of blood money to obtain his release. It was selected by the Short Film Corner at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival, it won Best Picture at the West Coast International Film Festival, Best Drama Short at the Best Short Festival in Canada, the Honorable Mention Award at the International Film Awards in Berlin and was a finalist at the Polish International Film Festival.
