🗓️ Sunday, 31st of May, 20:00 start
📍 Metro Historic Auditorium ()
🗣️ Q&A with Sophia Yuet See (, ) moderated by Mara Chavez (.achavez) after the program

Attention shifts from content to construction, where realities are re-enacted, circulated and kept in play. How do archives, art, science and film sustain what passes as given? In this program, the performance does not quite hold. Echoes of colonial image-making resurface – gestures repeat, roles shift, meaning slips. Moving through spectacle and storytelling, these films stage myth until it starts to crumble. What appears as given reveals itself as constructed. Attention: the frame shows!

ALL MY SISTERS
Tehran, Iran. Between 2007 and 2025, we follow three sisters as they grow up in a loving family. Eighteen years, from early childhood to everyday life as young women searching for freedom. Raised in traditional ways, the sisters witness and become protagonists in the struggles of a youth in constant flux. What does their future hold in today’s Iranian society?

Following the screening, we invite you to a panel discussion exploring how growing up under restrictive political regimes is shaped. The discussion aims to create a space for exchanging ideas about resilience, identity, and the role of young people in shaping change.

Please note: The film will be shown in Farsi with English subtitles; the subsequent discussion will be held in English.

Film & Discussion in cooperation with the Bruno Kreisky Forum ()
