Through five portraits of relatives and mentors, five expressions of resistance, director Pegah Ahangarani sketches her life story. Drawing from personal archives, home videos, street protests footage, newspapers, and recorded voices, she retraces more than 40 years of Iran’s history. From the early days of 1979, until the war that began in 2026, she pieces together intimate and collective memories, forming the portrait of a country shaped by political repression and in constant hope for a revolution.

Hello You

Director: May Abdalla, Barry Gene Murphy

Year: 2026

Hello You is an autopsy of your reflection. This mirror has two sides: one that observes, and another that follows. Exploring stories of altered perception, from phantom limbs to the feeling of being a stranger in your own body, the experience stretches the split-second act of self-recognition into something you can watch unfold. Here you are asked not to look at yourself, but at the lenses through which you look.
