Paris-based film sales agency Cat&Docs has acquired “Kamay,” the debut feature documentary from filmmakers Ilyas Yourish and Shahrokh Bikaran. The film will world premiere at Visions du Réel, which runs in Nyon, Switzerland, April 12-24. Variety has been given exclusive access to the trailer (below).
In “Kamay,” the filmmakers pick up the story of a Hazara family’s struggle to reconcile the official story of their eldest daughter Zahra’s death while attending the University of Kabul. It is taking years to navigate Afghanistan’s judicial landscape, even to just receive Zahra’s personal effects.
Zahra’s younger sister, Freshta, continues to gather the Kamay plant for her late sister’s research high up in the mountains near their house, but the mystery surrounding Zahra’s death and the great loss felt by the family affects her deeply – as she herself is nearly ready to enter university next.

Magnolia Pictures has snapped up the North American rights to a Martin Scorsese executive-produced documentary about New York’s historic Chelsea Hotel.
Amélie van Elmbt and Maya Duverdier’s “Dreaming Walls,” about the Manhattan institution and its controversial renovation, world premiered in the Panorama section of the Berlinale in February. Magnolia plans to release the film in theaters and on-demand this summer.
The Chelsea Hotel, an icon of 1960s counterculture, was a haven for famous artists and intellectuals including Patti Smith, Janis Joplin and the superstars of Warhol’s Factory. However, the building’s lengthy renovation into a luxury hotel, which has spanned more than 10 years, has been a source of ongoing frustration for its tenants, as dozens of them, many in their later years, still live amid scaffolding and constant construction.
