SHADOWLESS: IN TRANSIT

A hybrid fiction-documentary film about a traveller whose shadow wants to make itself independent upon arrival in Germany. Facing it and gazing at the shadow with the help of his video camera, memories and flashbacks cut rhythmically into the travellers records of the present untill a remix of his past and future occurs. All this in an in-between space, in a non-place, ‘In Transit’. 

As part of the film program
A SENSE OF PLACE

In the collective documentary programme ‘A Sense of Place’, the six Iranian filmmakers Afsaneh Salari, Shirin Barghnavard, Mina Keshavarz, Mohammad Reza Farzad, Azin Feizabadi and Pooya Abbasian take a contemporary look at both life from the inside and existence on the run from Iran. The programme is created by producer Afsun Moshiry in partnership with The Wim Wenders Foundation, and the films have been developed in close collaboration with Wim Wenders and Hella Wenders.
