Women of the Sun: A Chronology of Seeing 2020
I’d forgotten to log this. How could I..? I think about it all the time.
Watching this film was a serious dealbreaker for me. Made me realize that the process of filmmaking can become the focal point. I’d previously heard about documentary filmmakers who do more community-centric projects but 1) I hadn’t seen those films before and 2) couldn’t imagine it being done in Iran.
This was filmed close to my hometown in Iran and I could recognize the dialect, knew the names of towns. Precious.
I’m definitely getting in touch with the filmmaker and begging him to talk to me.

The Color of Pomegranates 1969
Years have passed since I first decided that I needed to watch this film, and on a "random" rainy day, while I was tiredly weaving my carpet and Yashar was sat next to me, and I was trying to steal glances inbetween the knots, I was relishing in the beauty of this sexual-religious coming-of-age film that is as much a painting as it is a story. It's coming of age, coming into sexuality, with and against the backdrop of religious iconography.
What else can I say? It was beautiful and watching it felt like I was being hand-fed flakes of gold.Translated from by
