Chooka

Year2018 Duration22 min. DirectorParastoo Anoushahpour, Faraz Anoushahpour, Ryan Ferko

Chooka returns to the site of a paper factory in northern Iran 40 years after its foreign workers left the region. Mediated through screens and photography while navigating multiple temporalities, the film explores the entangled relationship between a stranger and a host, a factory and a village, a film crew and a family, foreign trees and a landscape.
