The Kalash people of northern Pakistan's Chitral valley uphold a rich cultural heritage that is at odds with Pakistan's dominant Islam. Today, even as the community bears the combined pressures of poverty, tourism, and Islamism, a dedicated group of Kalash advocates are fighting to keep their culture alive. Can Kalash traditions withstand the challenges brought by globalization on the one hand and by religious tensions on the other? Director Iara Lee's new short film, The Kalasha and the Crescent, brings together members of the Kalash community and observers from around the world as they reckon with these tough questions.

This is the first true explanation of why i love electronic music, 16 August 1999

Author: ([email protected]) from Adelaide, Australia


I saw Modulations as part of a film festival here in Adelaide; i wish now that i had gone and seen it twice. I finally found out WHY i like dance/electronic music while watching it. The first feeling i had as i walked out of the theatre was "ALL my friends need to see this so they can understand me better!"

Unfortunately not one of them has- but i am still hoping!!

For anyone who hasn't seen it; and are into dance or electronic music of any kind; GO SEE IT. You'll probably find your roots, come to a new and better understanding of your self and learn all sorts of amazing facts about the history and evolution of the newest form of music.

For the producers.. not that you'll ever read this!! Make a second film.. there's so much happening in dance culture today that there needs to be another chapter written covering 88-2000 there have been huge advances in our culture!
