A successful visual artist working in Manhattan, Asya lives the life of the hip and glamorous, replete with exclusive art parties, supermodels, and stretch limousines, while she carefully follows the situation in the Middle East on television. One day she learns that her childhood friend has disappeared - the victim of a purported CIA abduction. Zeina Durra's atmospheric debut feature is an intelligent look at the way the war on terror seeps into the texture of everyday American life. "There is no real conclusion since the themes of rendition, imperialist wars, resistance, displacement, post feminism, that are tackled within the film have not been resolved, so why would I try and resolve them in 84 minutes?"

Born in 1976 in London. Director, writer, producer, and editor. She received her BA in Middle East studies from Oxford University and her MFA in film from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. Her award-winning thesis film, 'The Seventh Dog' (2005), was presented at 19 film festivals worldwide. 'The Imperialists Are Still Alive!' is her first feature film.
