About This Movie

So, 'Record' is this quiet little gem that really captures the essence of nostalgia and longing. You’ve got this elderly couple, and their lives unfold through the lens of a video camera, almost like they’re using it as a bridge to their son who's far away. The atmosphere is steeped in a kind of melancholic beauty, reflecting the struggles of the 90s, especially for Iraqi Kurds. The pacing is deliberate, giving you time to soak in their emotions and stories. It's raw, and while the performances are understated, there's a weight to them that really lingers. It’s this unique blend of personal history and broader socio-political themes that makes it distinct—definitely not your typical short film.

A touching exploration of family connections.Simplicity in storytelling, yet profound.Reflects the socio-political context of the 90s.
