Mitra Tabrizian

An Iranian expat living in London has a shady past and an enigmatic present.

A woman with ‘no name and no country’ in search of a sense of belonging. Asked to write a script about her own experience, she constructs an ‘autobiography’ which is partly fiction. A photographer – who has never touched a camera. A peep-show girl who has never worked in one. A screenwriter who has never written dialogue. Meanwhile, her unsent letters to her father echo the questions every migrant is asked: ‘Why are you here?’ and ‘When are you going back?’ The film is a critique of certain aspects of British culture & addresses crises of identity.

A short film with text by Ben Okri (Booker Prize Winner) was commissioned to accompany Albert Camus’s ‘The Outsider’ adapted for the stage by Ben Okri.

Ali is a 12-year-old boy living in a small town in Iran whose mother disappeared when he was very young. His father has now married. Troubled, craving his father’s attention, he loses the injured bird he’s been diligently caring for, and sets out to exact revenge, whatever the consequences.
