Refocus: The Films of Sohrab Shahid-Saless: ReFocus: The International Directors Series

Editat de Azadeh Fatehrad
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 mar 2022
'A mystic poet of the hidden sights of our souls, Sohrab Shahid Saless was the filmmakers' filmmaker. He achieved an almost cultic character in his homeland and his two Iranian films formed the DNA of Iranian New Wave before the Iranian Revolution of 1977-9 catapulted him into Europe and then the US where he died lonely and forlorn. Azadeh Fatehrad has given the world of cinema a priceless gift by editing a much overdue volume celebrating both phases of Shahid Saless's Iranian and foreign filmmaking careers: in one he mapped the solitude of our souls, and in the other the exilic permanence of our very existence.' Hamid Dabashi, author of Close Up: Iranian Cinema, Past, Present, Future An Iranian immigrant struggling to integrate into 1970s German society, the filmmaker Sohrab Shahid Saless (1944-98) has become a neglected figure in discussions of diaspora cinema. In this - the first English-language book to reflect on his work and its implications for creativity in the diasporic conditions of urban displacement - a range of international scholars provide a comprehensive account of Shahid Saless's films and production methods. Outlining his affinity with celebrated directors like Chantal Akerman and Abbas Kiarostami, as well as visual artists like Romuald Karmakar, the contributors firmly position Shahid Saless as a filmmaker who speaks forcefully to the traumas of displacement and migration. Azadeh Fatehrad is an artist and curator. She has conducted projects across Europe and the Middle East, including at the International Institute of Social History in Amsterdam and the Archiv für Forschung und Dokumentation Iran in Berlin. She is also the co-founder of 'Herstoriographies: The Feminist Media Archive Research Network' in London.
