Havana Marking is a British producer and director of documentary films. She is well known for her first feature doc in 2009 Afghan Star. This film won Best Director and the Audience Award at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival. The film follows a season of the Afghan TV phenomenon, based on the X-Factor / American Idol. Marking lived in Kabul for five months and focused on four main contestants in the series. The film changed pitch at the moment that Setara Hussainzada (a young woman from Herat) danced during her final performance. This led to death threats, condemnation and the possibility that the show itself might be stopped. The film also won The Grierson award for ‘best doc on a contemporary issue’, the Prix Italia and the Golden Tomato - meaning it had was best reviewed documentary of 2009.
