Persian (Farsi) to English Other Cinema, Film, TV, Drama

Where the film emphasises, often through framing and camera movement alone, the complicity inherent in regarding the suffering of others, these scenes tie the spectator firmly into this emphasis and do so through an ethically entangled aesthetic. While this aesthetic might support arguments for a new and even radical personal and global consciousness in the wake of 9/11, it will be shown, ultimately, to be both troubled and troubling in its disavowal of racial consciousness.
