THE DISAPPEARANCE OF OUR MOMENTS
Afghanistan, Germany, Turkey 2024 – Director: Ahmad Siyar Noorzad – Original language: Farsi – Subtitles: English – Length: 78 min.
Stranded after fleeing Afghanistan: a father works nights so he can be there for his children during the day while the mother goes to her job in a staff canteen. A delicately told story with distinct, often enigmatic imagery that is reminiscent of the greats of arthouse cinema. A film that resonates for a long time. Jan Sebening
