SCARECROW
Scarecrow tells us first and foremost about the search for a new harmony (after a difficult past) through the constant (and often painful) pursuit of beauty through various forms of art.
Film director: Houchang Allahyari
ENE MENE MUH – UND TOT BIST DU!
Ene Mene Muh – Und tot bist du! is a delightful comedy in which the murders that take place inside the aforementioned retirement home never take on dark or dramatic connotations but, on the contrary, end up being a true ode to life and, in particular, to those who have had the opportunity to live a particularly long life.
BORN IN ABSURDISTAN
Houchang Allahyari’s comedy Born in Absurdistan is a feature film that, even more than twenty-five years after its release, is still incredibly relevant.
UND TÄGLICH FRISCH VERLIEBT
Tender, sensitive, romantic but never rhetorical, Und täglich frisch verliebt fully succeeds in its intentions in giving us an unforgettable love story while at the same time turning out to be a true hymn to life.
I LIKE TO BE IN AMERICA
I like to be in America – director Houchang Allahyari’s debut short film – is intended to be nothing more and nothing less: a cheerful and sparkling experiment in order to take his first steps into the film world.
MEATGRINDER
We are spared nothing, during the screening of Meatgrinder. The director, with an extremely essential approach, gets straight to the point. And, likewise, a harsh, deliberately dirty aesthetic is perfectly appropriate for what Houchang Allayari wanted to denounce in this short but important film of his.
I LOVE VIENNA
I Love Vienna presents itself as a colourful and cheerful fresco of society, in which controversial topics are raised – especially concerning the various cultural differences and the different ways of understanding marriage and love relationships in general – but all this is done in an ironic way, through a skilful script that sees numerous misunderstandings and paradoxes as its most important peculiarities.
