Faces (2) • Directed by Shahin Parhami • 2008 • Canada
d
Experimental filmmaker Shahin Parhami explores the lives and works of artists living in diaspora. This multi-layered and illuminating documentary reflects on Iranian art and culture from many different viewpoints. By interviewing a handful of Iranian-Canadian artists, Parhami investigates the politics of representation, history, and the power of popular media. The topic of identity plays an important role in this film, as all the interviewees live in exile. Parhami’s visual style makes use of footage from pre-Revolution Iranian films and interweaves fast-cut edits of the artists’ paintings, photos, books, and other art forms.
The film’s title, Faces, is emblematic of how Iran’s artists, including those in diaspora, have become the faces of this country and essentially created its art and culture. The film is structured in a way that seeks to make the viewer think about the relationship between art and history.

Shahin Parhami’s Spotlight (The Trilogy):
Jabaroot • Directed by Shahin Parhami • 2003 • Canada
Lahoot.• Directed by Shahin Parhami • 1998 • Canada
Nasoot.• Directed by Shahin Parhami • 1997 • Canada
Iranian-Canadian documentarian, writer, and cinematographer Shahin Parhami’s visual style and creative experimentation came together to create heartfelt documentaries. His interest and experiments in poetry, painting, and music were beautifully displayed in his films. He presented each of his subjects using eloquent visual forms. It was with this vision and qualities that Parhami established a reputation as someone who approached documentary filmmaking both bluntly and effectively. Parhami’s documentaries cast light on forgotten themes and artists, lost lands, and neglected rituals. He saw beauty in each of them and invited his viewers to interact deeply with his work.

Jabaroot • Directed by Shahin Parhami • 2003 • Canada
Jabaroot follows Kiya Tabassian, an Iranian-Canadian musician who travels from Montreal to Iran to meet his inspirations in diasporic Persian music. The cuts in the film are often jarring, and the unexpected relationship between sound (music) and image creates a feeling of subtlety that pervades the film. Jabaroot is full of intimate perceptions and traditional music played by indigenous people, an inclusion that reveals music to be both a strong voice and a powerful image of the country. The film also includes various passages of poetry that add unique rhythm to its poetic visuals and force the viewer to remain focused on the subject.

Lahoot • Directed by Shahin Parhami • 1998 • Canada
This short documentary is a lyrical portrait of dreams, memories, and realities. It is a moving and meditative take on myths and rituals combined with Sufi and folkloric melodies. The changing colors of the frames, the sound of Azan, the Sufi chants, and the camera all assemble in a poetic way to showcase a fragmented story. The film’s title, Lahoot, comes from Islamic mythology, a term referring to the world beyond corporeal existence.

Iranian Journey • Directed by Maysoon Pachachi • 2000 • Germany/Iran/United Kingdom
Iranian Journey is a documentary road movie with Massoumeh Soltan Baloghie, the first woman long-distance bus driver in Iran and, probably, the whole Islamic world. On a 22-hour bus trip north to south across Iran from Tehran to Bandar Abbas, Massoumeh talks about her life and aspirations. Her passengers chat, eat, sleep and tell their stories, and we meet people in the road stop cafés, on the sides of the road and in the cities en route. In Tehran, we speak to women of different ages and classes about their work, life and aspirations – a painter, a musician, TV factory workers, law students, editor of a feminist magazine and many others including Masoumeh’s 2 teenage daughters, Zahra and Fatima.
