Cost: Free; Registration in advance recommendedLongtime attendees of this festival still vividly remember Shahram Mokri’s 2013 film Fish & Cat, a horror movie filmed entirely in one take (including a flashback!). Mokri and his inventive imagination are back on full display in his latest film.
In Black Rabbit, White Rabbit, Escher-like intertwined storylines unfold on and around the set of a film being made by an Iranian director in Tajikistan: A car accident victim comes to believe she is the target of a conspiracy. A crew member is convinced that a prop gun is actually real. An actor arrives on set demanding an audition. These are just a few of the elements of this “wildly ambitious, wryly comic puzzle film” (Lee Marshall, Screen Daily) comprised of spellbinding tracking shots up to 20 minutes long, building up to a spectacular conclusion.
Director: Shahram Mokri. Countries: Tajikistan, United Arab Emirates. Released: 2025. Length: 139 min. Format: DCP. Language: Tajik and Russian with English subtitles.
