Repertoire

A series of compelling, often darkly comical vignettes that make up Terrestrial Verses offers a glimpse into the lives of Iranians as they grapple with government-imposed social, cultural, and religious bureaucracy. The static camera depicts many stories: a woman searching for a lost dog, a filmmaker facing state censorship, parents wanting to name their newborn son David, and many others. These short fictional stories paint a strong, humane portrait of a population fed up with the politics constraining everyday life.
