Karachi Sky

Artist BioKarachi Sky is a poetic archival film about the late journalist and writer Annie Ali Khan — from her start as a Pakistani model and TV personality during the country’s media explosion of the early 2000s, to the posthumous publication of her book a year after her tragic 2018 suicide. Told through the eyes of documentary filmmaker Sofian Khan – her longtime friend, collaborator, and romantic partner – this intimate story of love, creativity, and loss spans 15 years and two continents.
