A Week with Azar is this short experimental documentary that really captures a moment in time. The film centers on Azar, an Iranian computer engineer, who is grounded by the travel ban during a crucial winter in 2017. The pacing is contemplative, allowing viewers to sit with Azar's emotions as she reflects on her estranged relationship with her ill sister back in Isfahan. It’s raw and poignant, showcasing the weight of separation and the bureaucratic obstacles that affect personal lives. The visuals are stark, minimalistic, but they convey so much through Azar’s expressions and the atmosphere of longing. It's distinctive in how it personalizes a political narrative without the usual sensationalism, focusing instead on a quiet but powerful human story.
