PRESENTED BY

Multiple MIFF award winner Maryam Tafakory returns with an epistolary tale of suppressed desire.

The winner of last year’s MIFF Best Documentary Short Film for Razeh-del, acclaimed Iranian filmmaker Maryam Tafakory constructs another speculative, secret history of her homeland, using her signature reimagining of archival film footage to relay one woman’s letter to another – a dispatch marked by domestic abuse, divorce and a profound lack of agency. This is a vibrant feminist work from one of the world’s foremost experimental filmmakers.
