“Recently, I had the pleasure of participating in the short film “Shahid”, which my wife Shadia and I selected for the Kino Asyl Festival. My wife, our daughter Waltraud, and I had a small role in the film, but the experience was wonderful and unique. The team was extremely professional, and the atmosphere was so warm and respectful that we became close friends with the talented director Narges and her family. The film was shot in several German cities, including the beautiful Munich. Shahid took part in many events both inside and outside of Germany, including the Berlinale. It was also awarded Best Feature Film at the Hessian Film and Cinema Awards, and the film’s score by Maria Burchard received a special award. Shahid, directed by Narges Kalhor, is a courageous film that tells a moving story with honesty and intimacy. It addresses political and social issues in an intelligent and often humorous way, and stands out as an exceptional cinematic work.”

My name is Yahya Mashehor, I come from Yemen and have been living in Germany since 2018 with my family of seven. I work full-time at hpkj❤️ and am very happy about this experience. Besides my work, I enjoy volunteering together with my family to give back to Germany, which means a lot to us. I have volunteered with various organizations, including Helferkreis Regierung Niederbayern, Bellevue di Monaco, JUNO, Migration macht Gesellschaft, Über den Tellerrand, AWO, KinoAsyl, and Buntkicktgut. Through these activities, we aim to promote solidarity and give something back to society. My passion lies in creating short videos on platforms like Snapchat and Facebook to tell stories and give others a voice. I have been part of KinoAsyl for almost two years, where I address important social issues through films.
