[UNE HISTOIRE SIMPLE, LA MIENNE,
LA TIENNE ET CELLE DE M.]

by Atefeh Yarmohammadi

Switzerland/Iran 2015 32 min Farsi original version with German and English subtitles

Script: Atefeh Yarmohammadi, DoP: Atefeh Yarmohammadi, Editor: Sepideh Abtahi, Production: Haute école d’art et de design – Genève, Atefeh Yarmohammadi, Producer: Atefeh Yarmohammadi

In search of one’s childhood, what is lost, forgotten, stolen. Back in the 1980s in Iran, an eventful decade that changed the peoples’ lives in this country. Just before and after the revolution, an entire country is destabilized. And then the war against Iraq, unforeseen complicating the lives of Iranians, and whose influence never ends.

"Atefeh Yarmohammadi works out her personal history in a palimpsest of historical and contemporary film footage accompanied by a distinctive soundtrack. She was born in Tehran in 1984 during the Iran-Iraq war that drove her parents apart.

Impressive, non-linear autobiography; painful, yet not sentimental." (Le Festival International Signes de Nuit)
