Unsettled Reality, Tomorrow’s Imagination + ScreenTalk (15*)

Contemporary Shorts by Iranian Women Filmmakers

A woman is lit in the foreground is reflected by a mirror, as someone else in shadow walks through a curtain.

This selection of five films by young Iranian women filmmakers delves into the fragile and shifting nature of contemporary existence, as seen through their unique perspectives.

Through intimate narratives and striking visuals, these films illuminate the dreams, fears, and resilience of a generation navigating uncertainty while daring to envision alternative futures. 

The collection becomes a mosaic of voices, reflecting both the cracks in the present and the sparks of creativity that light the path forward, offering a poetic and philosophical reflection on what it means to dream in an unstable world.

This screening will be followed by a ScreenTalk with curator Mania Akbari and director Shadi Karamroudi (on stage) and Golzar Farzaneh and Mahdokht Molaei (via Zoom). Hosted by Tiara Sahar Ataii.
