Program Note
Narrated in the form of a reflective diary, the documentary has two main parts. One is about resisting the power that demands forgetting by remembering a free past; the other is about documenting the past and present struggle for women’s freedom. To do this, the director captures a free and happy past via personal footage and super 8mm film footage collected from the streets, and reconstructs the past and present of women fighting to reclaim a world that has been taken away from them, focusing on the 2022 anti-hijab protests. In doing so, it shows that the hijab is not just a meter-long piece of fabric, but a symbol of power that seeks to control people’s daily lives and desires. This is a “homemade history” of Iranian women, documenting their reality, their past and present history, and the battle between memory and oblivion. (JO Ji-hoon)
