A Moon for My Father
United Kingdom, Iran2019documentary74'Gdzieś w Europie (2019)
Mania Akbari (“Life May Be”) has created another extremely intimate documentary in which a story about physicality is interlaced with traumatic events from the past. Film letters of the director and her partner are intertwined with medical documentation, family photographs or takes from the underground. What seems to be an accidental collage of photographs and recordings is a coherent artistic expression of a conscious, contemporary woman who has not been spared difficult experiences by fate.
