The webcam was always at hand – during the strange fall of snow at Isfahan; when Mitra talked about the time she spent in prison; when Hasan insisted on listening to what his son had dreamt of last night. For a decade, the family maintained a long-distance online relationship between Berlin and Isfahan. Everyday life, the weather, philosophical matters, food and drink are represented in pixels and fragmented video calls. An out-of-focus woodchip wallpaper and asynchronous communication underscore the 4,000 km long distance between the two cities. Over the course of ten years, Faraz Fesharaki has documented interactions between himself and his family with his cam. It is a digital dialogue between one who set out to study film in Germany and his relatives, who remained in the Iranian metropolis. ‚What did you dream yesterday, Parajanov?‘ expresses the desire to be heard and understood without always explaining one’s own feelings.

Faraz Fesharaki studied film and dramaturgy at the University of the Arts in Tehran and participated in a workshop by Abbas Kiarostami. In 2012 he took up studies in camera work at the German Film and TV Academy in Berlin. In 2023, his first feature film, the documentary ‚What did you dream yesterday, Parajanov?‘, was released.

A co-production by Deutsche Film- und Fernsehakademie Berlin and New Matter Films
