Noah’s Ark
Soudabeh Babagap, Iran, experimental, 26 min., 2003
Canadian Premiere
Noah’s Ark is a visual poem of loss, memory and recovery in the aftermath of war. Iranians who lost their ships in the missile attacks of the Iran-Iraq war (1980-1988) still search for their “lost children”. Many of the iron hulks were sunk in the Persian Gulf, others anchor half-broken in the still waters. Loss echoes on loss, and layers to a lament that mourns the wrecks of war. – M.S.L
