The Day I Disappeared plot

The Day I Disappeared is a film essay based on the personal experiences of the filmmaker, who fled Iran and traveled through a world that was completely new and unknown to her: Europe. It is also an attempt to shed light on an inner process of alienation, an individualization of the term 'refugee' or 'asylum seeker'. The unconventional story uses tropes from Persian poetry, with visual metaphors and rhymes and rhythms between the scenes. The film largely consists of found footage (16mm and 8mm) that reflects the director's memories of her own journey through Europe, more than twenty years ago.
