As with so many adoption stories we’ve seen before on screen, all everyone is after here is closure. Whether or not anyone finds it - well, you’ll have to watch and find out, but this moving and revealing story is worth it. Even with an 88-minute runtime, it can sometimes feel like we linger too long on certain parts, especially in the early scenes back in Amsterdam. But once Farideh makes it to Iran and her journey begins to unfold, this poignant and emotional documentary finds its feet, revealing great insights into family life and what it means to find yourself. - Joel Kalkopf Read Joel's full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-finding-farideh-an-emotional-and-moving-documentary-for-irans-oscar-submission

Moonshadow – The Myth of Fahimeh (2025)
0 /10
This is the story of Fahimeh Akbari, a leading lady in the musical and cultural history of Iran, an exceptional talent whose magical voice and unique style enriched both the folklore and urban musical landscapes of Iran, a pioneer who breathed new life into the music scene by introducing and marrying European tunes and rhythms with that of Gilan, Iran. Fahimeh Akbari, a figure so remarkable and revolutionary that her marked absence seems almost mythical. A familiar tale of a female artist mysteriously forgotten and seemingly erased from history books.

Nocturnal (2006)
0 /10
A young woman tries to deal with the insight that her brother is dying. Shabnam is a photographer and sister of a famous war photographer, Hamed. Just before she goes to a party, she is told that the brother has been injured and is in hospital. Shabnam is dragged into a series of strange events, where the boundary between rus and reality is blurred. The debuting feature film directors are also film and art critics in Iran, Bonakdar himself artist - hardly surprising given the film's strong image awareness. It also has to be overlooked with the bit-wise banal depictions of cocaine scrambling and dangerous men.

Numb (2023)
6.7 /10
This time the action is restricted to a kindergarten, a world seemingly far removed from real life in Iran. Pre-school is the first and last time boys and girls can learn together freely before entering the strictly segregated education system. Much like the dog in Toodehroosta’s well received first feature Paat (2013), six-year-old Roham plays the often silent witness to the actions unfurling around him. As his curiosity grows, the complicated real lives of the other pupils start to unravel.
