Timeline

1962

Atiq Rahimi (born 26 February 1962 in Kabul) is a French-Afghan writer and filmmaker.

Following the Soviet invasion, Rahimi fled Afghanistan, taking refuge in Pakistan for a year and then relocating to France in 1985 after receiving political asylum.

On completion of his studies at the Sorbonne, Rahimi joined a Paris-based production company where he produced seven documentaries for French television, as well as several commercials.

The film, starring Iranian actress Golshifteh Farahani, was selected as the Afghan entry for the Best Foreign Language Oscar at the 85th Academy Awards, but was not nominated.

1990

Taking time off in the late 1990s, Rahimi embarked on his first writing project.

2000

His 2000 Dari/Persian book, Earth and Ashes, was an instant bestseller in Europe and South America.

2002

After the fall of the Taliban, Rahimi returned to his native Afghanistan in 2002, after 17 years of exile, and used a 150-year-old box camera to take pictures of Kabul.

Six of these photographs were later purchased by the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

Upon his return to Afghanistan in 2002, Rahimi became involved with the nation's largest media group, Moby Group, as a senior creative advisor.

The group, established by brothers Saad Mohseni, Zaid Mohseni and Jahid Mohseni, owns Tolo TV, Arman FM, Kaboora Production, Barbud Music, Lemar TV, Afghan Scene Magazine, and a host of other media related entities.

Rahimi, who divides his time between Kabul and Paris, continues to work closely with the Moby Group in developing programs and genres for its media outlets, as well as helping develop and train a new generation of Afghan filmmakers and directors.

Rahimi created and developed Tolo TV's "Raz ha een Khana" (Secrets of this House), Afghanistan's first soap opera.

Rahimi's fourth book and his first in French, the novel tells the story of a woman whose husband has been wounded in battle in a country resembling Afghanistan and now lies as paralysed as a stone.

The hugely popular "Secrets of this House" took the Special Award at the Seoul Drama Awards in October 2008.
