SHAHIDBetween drama and comedy, between fiction and documentary // Directed by Narges Kalhor // Germany 2024 // 86 minutes
In this autofictional film, the boundaries between reality and fiction, bureaucracy and fantasy are blurred. The director fights to drop the martyr title “Shahid” from her name. Still, her great-grandfather, who was once pronounced a martyr, stands in her way. In an absurd mix of humor, music, and theatrics, Narges Kalhor sets out on a journey to examine her Iranian roots.
