Souvenirs

This documentary follows the life of the director and how she's been impacted by the loss of loved ones to dictatorial orders in Iran. Each of the five 15-20 minute chapters focuses on a different person who influenced the director's life and whose story highlights a specific period in Iran's history. The film covers the past 40 years of Iran's history and uses archival footage to recreate the atmosphere of that time. The main theme of the documentary is separation and loss, as the director mourns the loss of each of the beloved heroes featured in the episodes. The film is a sequel to the director's previous successful short film "I Am Trying to Remember".
