For our first show of the year, On the Air with the IWFFA has conversation with Stephen Kitsakos, Opera Librettist, Stage Director and Art Maker. He knows little of flag football, but lot's about Afghanistan. Since the IWFFA is helping to evacuation our Afghan women flag football members, we thought it would be interesting to learn about the history of the country, and Mr. Kitsakos enlightens us.

Stephen is a colleague of Roya Sadat, the Afghan filmmaker & International women's rights advocate. Roya Sadat is an Afghan filmmaker & international women’s rights advocate. Named by the BBC as one of the 100 Most Inspiring & Influential Women in the World for 2021, she taught herself how to create visual stories during the Taliban regime.

Stephen shares a wealth of information into the culture and history of Afghanistan. 

A fascinating conversation to another world. 

The screening of film: A Letter to the President, was the Afghan submission for Best Foreign Language Film at the 2018 Oscars. The film follows Soraya, a low-level government official, who is imprisoned when she defends a woman from village lords. Behind bars, she writes the Afghan President for help.

Following the screening, Stephen Kitsakos, Studios Artistic Associate, will moderate a discussion with Ms. Sadat about the constantly evolving situation in Afghanistan. Kitsakos is working with Sadat & the American composer Sheila Silver on the opera adaptation of Khaled Hosseini’s A Thousand Splendid Suns for the Seattle Opera’s Feb 2023 World Premiere. The screening takes place in Key West, Florida at the Studios of Key West on February 1, 2022. 

We are thrilled to share with you ..... Mr. Stephen Kitsakos
