FR

“The image should reveal what dialogue cannot.”

02 / ABOUT

I make films about the things people cannot carry alone.

Fereshte Rahim is a filmmaker and screenwriter working in narrative cinema. The work is drawn to memory, identity, family fracture, and the moral instability beneath ordinary life.

Each project begins with a question rather than an answer: what does a person protect when the truth costs too much?
