Shahid

SHAHID is a political drama and, at the same time, a desperate comedy. It is about historical heroes, modern-day criminals, and how contemporary women deal with them. SHAHID is a personal film that questions all kinds of radical ideologies—and does not always take itself entirely seriously in the process. Narges Kalhor (born 1984 in Tehran, based in Germany) is an award-winning Iranian-German director, video artist, and editor. Her works move between documentary, experimental art, and fiction, often exploring themes such as exile, identity, feminist perspectives, and political resistance.
