Biography
Saba Sahar is an Afghan actress, film director, and producer who became her country's first woman to direct and produce feature films.

Her second feature, *Passing the Rainbow* (2008), was exhibited as an art installation at the Chelsea College of Art and Design in 2010, signaling her cross-disciplinary reach. Sahar's career unfolded across geographies: she spent significant time in exile in Moscow, Tehran, and Peshawar before returning to Afghanistan to work in film and theater.
