    The Day I Disappeared

    Atousa Bandeh GHIASABADI 2011 The Netherlands, Iran Documentary color 62min Dutch, Persian HDCAM
    The Day I Disappeared is a film essay based on the personal story of the filmmaker, who fled from Iran and travelled through what was a completely new and unknown world for her: Europe. It is also an effort to shed light on an internal process of alienation, an individualisation of the term 'refugee' or 'asylum-seeker'. The unconventional narrative uses the patterns of Persian poetry, with visual metaphors and rhymes and rhythms between the scenes. The combination of all these creative approaches evokes a special world between reality and fairytale.
