REMOTE CONTROL Iran/France 2015 47 min original version with German and English subtitles Tehran, June 2013. The Iranians are preparing to elect the new President of the Islamic Republic. Massed in front of their TVs, they comment the presidential campaign broadcast by national channels: the jokes that accompany the parade of candidates betray the spectators’ disappointment. After the 2009 riots, do the Iranian people still believe in politics and their representatives? "The film is built around my personal view and that of the Iranians I have filmed. The only faces that I can show are those of the politicians. The image of the politicians opposes the lack of representation of ordinary citizens. In response, I chose to represent |
the intimate expression of their words, the heart of their beliefs, while portraying Iranian society in all its diversity." (director’s statement)
