MY FATHER, IRAN AND I
TV Documentary, 54′, 2026
Director
Keyvan Ghadimi
Production
Dublin Films
Synopsis
My father has never returned to his native Iran since arriving in France 47 years ago.
While the turmoil there gives us hope that we might go there together in the camper van where my father lives, he constantly puts off the plan. While seeking to understand what makes his return so difficult, I draw the portrait of an elderly immigrant dreaming of a country that no longer exists.
