Settou Zad, My first passion

About This Movie

Settou Zad, My First Passion is this intimate documentary that dives into the life of Shahrazad, capturing the nuances of her artistic journey through the lens of her granddaughter's perspective. The film has this reflective tone, a bit melancholic at times, as it intertwines personal anecdotes with footage and photographs that add layers to Shahrazad's legacy. You get a sense of the slow pacing, which allows the audience to really absorb the emotional weight of her story. Themes of memory and artistic expression come through in a subtle way, and the practical effects—like archival materials—give it an authentic feel. It’s not just about a person’s art, but about the very fabric of familial bonds and the sacrifices made along the way.
