Featured Short Film
Zarin by Nima Nourani

In 2019, director and writer Nima Nourani, grandchild of Zhinus and Houshang, unveiled a compelling fictional short film. Titled, Zarin, the narrative centers on a chance encounter between a woman and the infamous sentencing judge who tragically ordered the execution of her parents. Through nuanced storytelling, Nourani explores themes of justice, forgiveness, and the intricate ties that bind past and present.
