Homeless women in Iran are locked away, banished to the outskirts of the city, made invisible. Behzad Nalbandi secretly conducted interviews in the camps and creates a world of his own: cardboard animations make those affected visible again.
Cooperation:
THE UNSEEN and our February film 1001 NIGHTS APART are presented in cooperation with the Cinema Iran Festival (13-16 July 2023, Gasteig Munich). The programme will thus be extended beyond the local stage for the first time with films on the digital screen.
