film
Her-Sur is a film that centers women’s voices from the peripheries, not as tokens of culture, but as architects of it. It explores the rich and diverse musical traditions of indigenous women across Pakistan, from the coastal rhythms of Balochistan to the haunting melodies of Tharparkar. With lyrics in Balochi, Sindhi, Urdu, and Dari, it documents not just song, but survival - how women use music as resistance, memory, identity, and joy. By highlighting younger women remixing ancestral soundscapes, the film bridges intergenerational wisdom and contemporary creativity.
