Documentarian Shahin Parhami interviews 10 Iranian-Canadian artists who have practiced their craft in the west since the revolution. The interviews are complimented by free-form montages which center on the changing landscape of Iranian art and history. The audience not only sees these sequences for themselves but also sees them through the eyes of veteran actor Shahram Golchin who is subjected to a different montage upon awaking each morning.
This multi-layered documentary reflects on politics, pop culture, history, and the power of popular media as it crafts a new face for contemporary Iranian art and culture. Shahin explores questions about exile, identity, and maintaining one’s culture in the context of immigration.
