Aranzazú, a memory of ruins

A Correspondence

Part historical narrative, part experimental documentary, this film brings to life the year-long correspondence between the filmmaker's grandparents. Margot, a young Jewish woman working in London, had escaped Nazi Germany while David, a Polish doctor working for the British army, was one of the only surviving members of his family. Constructed through photographs, letters, telegrams and archival footage from the era, their story is one of love across distance and the search for a partner during troubled times.

The Westoxicateds

2025 · ★ 9

Stuck in a creative rut, filmmaker Gilda Pourjabar returns to Iran, her homeland, to talk with her brother Siamak, an illustrator based in Tehran. This encounter raises questions about their relationship to Western popular art, as they grew up in a culture that the current political regime describes as “westoxicated.” This documentary uses playful animations by Siamak, inspired by Franco-Belgian comics and rock concert posters, superimposed on archival footage of the most recent popular uprisings in Iran to become a logical collaboration for these artists who shared a record collection as children. Together, they examine how art slips through the cracks of repression to light the rebellious sparks in the hearts of young people.
