Director: Parisa Yousef Doust | Producer: Denis Vaslin & Ineke Smits, Volya Films
Focus Years: 2005 | Country: Netherlands
Synopsis:
Somewhere in the backyard of a house in Zwolle, a Persian carpet has been nailed down to a sitting area. Below the carpet, the mysteries, history and the tales of an Iranian family are being kept, while above the carpet the family's cultural evolution continues. Every first Sunday of the month, the family of Yousef Doust is meeting in order to enjoy each other's company, talk and share happiness and sadness with each other. "As an immigrant I always tried to keep distance from nostalgic feelings which could blur my sight in the present. With this film, I attempt to transfer passive nostalgia into functional part of life of an immigrant family. The flying carpet represents the ancient traditions carrying an immigrant family. However, by not flying and making us feel like floating, it represents the position of cultural evolution." - Parisa Yousef Doust
