'Two patches of clouds'
Mehrshad Karkhani's 7th feature film


AG/AG

In memory of all the lost ones that never have been found.

'Two patches of clouds' is the director Mehrshad Karkhani's seventh cinematic production and has a tagline which reads "Anyone who stays here will be lost!"

Mehrshad Karkhani's new film will be screened in Art & Experience cinematic group.

This is the seventh film from Iranian director Mehrshad Karkhani who made notable films such as ‘Loose Rope’ and ‘My Sin’, ‘Ekbatan’ and ‘Toward Freedom’.



The movie is about Zohreh, a female photographer who disappears on the eve of a photo exhibition. The movie deliberately does not explain why she is lost.

The movie shows Kasra, Zohreh's brother, searching for her sister throughout the entire movie, and we soon find out that the idea of being lost or disapearing goes beyond the people and covers the entire society. As if the whole society is missing. 

Even Kasra himself is seeking for something lost, as if it is through this process of searching that he comes to the knowledge of himself and the community, and the same applies to all the other people in the movie too.

According to the director, the subject of this movie is not only the lost things, but also the people getting lost, an issue that is rooted in the contemporary history of our country.

We remember the people who were lost in the 1979 Revolution, and those who disappeared in the 60's, and they even disapears today. Sometimes they will never be found. There is no NGOs to refer to.

"Being Lost is not just a physical matter! Our generation has been lost for years. To make this socialy concerned street-film, like my previous works, I benefited from the French cinema's new wave, the film Noir, Western cinema, and many others."

Rahimian, the scriptwriter, has said that paying attention to the issue of Being Lost is a new enterprise in Iranian cinema, and this issue is lost among the repeated scripts that are being produced in Iranian cinema in succession.

So paying attention to this subject was interesting to me, given the social context in which we are located. In my opinion, "Two Patches of clouds" does not indicate individual loss, but refers to the loss of individuals in the community. A misery that everyone in our country is witnessing today.
