In this personal essay, Ahangarani (I Am Trying to Remember) talks about how the Iranian Revolution, and the turbulent times that ensued, affected her and her family. Illustrated with archive footage, news excerpts and family photos, she narrates her personal story, first from the point of view of a girl living in a world of fairy-tale heroes, then gradually shifting to the perspective of an adult who could interpret the complex events.
Pegah Ahangarani (born 1984) is an Iranian actress, a film director and a musician. She has made 9 documentaries and acted in more than 40 feature films. Her movies have been shown in many festivals, including Berlinale, Toronto Film Festival, Venice Film Festival etc. She has received many prizes in different festivals : The Best Actress in Cairo FF, Best Actress in Locarno Film Festival, Best Director in Cinema Verité IFF, Best Director in Isfahan IFF and more.
