Iran-e Man was created as part of the Women Life Freedom Project initiated by the Iranian-Italian brand Pairi Daeza, and consists of a scarf collection created by twelve Iranian artists based around the world. The scarves are printed with messages capturing the spirit of revolution, which appear as trailing scarves in the film. All profits from sales are donated to the human rights organisation Abdorrahman Boroumand Center to support the movement in Iran. The idea was to create a visual poem that celebrates the cultural history of Iran and spark hope in the movement.
What did the judges have to say?
It was beautifully crafted with simple elements, natural light and bold composed shots.
