Sound Designer
Neatly chalked extracts and spoken fragments of Forugh Farrokhzad's radical poem Sin directly contradict the unembellished recordings of clerics instructing women to suppress their sexual predilections. How? By eating lettuce, of course.

Absent Wound
Director
Making a stage from two public spaces in Iran which women are prohibited from entering, Maryam Tafakory’s depiction of men and women coming of age draws parallels while commenting on this separation of the genders. The authority of tradition is metaphorically undermined by obstructed onscreen text, while a woman’s low hums and whispers remind us of the presence of the body in the enactment of rituals.
Fragments of a Letter to an Unborn Child
Director
text becomes the body for a hand.
Poem and Stone
Director
A film skirting the edge of performance, documentary, and poetry, explores the question of human memory through the combination of a variety of abstract and symbolic motifs. It refers to Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time and the principles of "involuntary memory" based on the unconscious storing of memories connected with concrete emotions.
