From the Painter

From the Painter’s View is my third short film, and like all my film projects, it focuses on the importance of family. This film’s main idea is based on complex relationship between parents and their children, how parents impose their own ideas of education on children’s mind, without taking into account their individuality and unique perspectives. This film is personal, and talks about what me and my generation have been damaged from.

On symbolic level, this theme also reflects the current social and cultural
situation in my country, Iran. Like the family portrayed in the film, I believe that Iran is facing a similar situation, where an unknown political entity is destroying social patterns and individual psyches, and no one is able to do anything about it.

I hope to shed light on the challenges that we face as a society, and the need to recognize and address these issues in order to create a brighter future for ourselves and next generations.

Synopsis: A six years old boy, Siavash, has won a painting award and his parents are trying to analyze his interview with TV about the painting. In the painting there is a home with no walls. Now everyone is trying to find a reason for it, but non of them are right.
