Shaereh Film Installation at Buffalo International Film Festival

Written By elif koyuturk

Shaereh came to the Buffalo International Film Festival as part of BIFF Offscreen. From October 10 to 15 the film played on a loop at Duende in Silo City, and after sunset it was projected onto the grain silos during the festival’s BIG FUN party.

After a life in Iran shaped by protest, loss and exile, a woman turns to Sufi whirling as an act of embodied resistance. Through ritual movement and poetic images, Shaereh turns silence into motion and personal grief into a shared vision of women’s freedom.
