My Father

The director explores her relationship with her father Jamshid. Before the revolution, he was a filmmaker who had created several 8mm short films, some of which are included in this documentary. With a camera always in hand, he captured photographs and films, establishing himself as a revolutionary filmmaker. His closest friend, Davood, played the lead role in all of his movies. When the Iranian revolution began, both Jamshid and Davood became dedicated activists, supporting the cause. Jamshid held deep admiration for Khomeini. As the Iran-Iraq war erupted, Jamshid joined the initial wave of volunteers and fought under Khomeini's command for 8 years on the frontlines, displaying unwavering loyalty to Iran. However, in the war's final year, Jamshid's world shattered as Davood got executed.
