Synopsis

Poetic and political, Theodore Ushev' animated work furthers his incredible talent by calling for the liberation of imprisoned Iranian filmmakers, focusing on the plight of Jafar Panahi. Drawing inspiration from raw footage of the Green Wave uprising to compose densely layered rotoscoped images embedded with Farsi text, Ushev creates a powerful piece of activism that is both personal and profound.
