UNVEILED TRADITIONS

Year 2023
Runtime 1 mins
Language English

This short film is included in the following package(s): SHORTS: ALBERTA SPIRIT


Drawing from Lili Yas Tayefi's childhood memories of visiting Iran, UNVEILED TRADITIONS captures the dichotomy between the inside and outside of both home and country. The story unfolds with the chador (a traditional Muslim garment), symbolizing the separate lives people lead. It slowly loses its meaning behind the closed doors of a nonconforming home, underpinning 44 years of daily protest and the Woman, Life, Freedom movement.
