Moon for My Father, A
A Moon for My Father · dir. Mania Akbari, Douglas White
Great Britain, Iran, Germany 2018, 85’
20 October, 15:15 · Kino Centrum
Mania Akbari looks into the connection between her body and the political history of Iran, investigating the relationship between her own physical traumas and the collective political memory of her birthplace. As she undergoes surgeries on a body decimated by cancer, remembrance and reconstruction provide a framework for investigating how bodies are traumatised, censored and politicized, and yet ultimately remain a site of possibility. She collaborates with British sculptor Douglas White to coin a tender fusion of language, where a meeting of cinema and sculpture investigates the processes of physical and psychological destruction and renewal. Documentary.
