Iran 2026

Directed: Fariba Farzanfar, Kaveh Sistani
Screenplay: Fariba Farzanfar
Production: Fariba Farzanfar, Kaveh Sistani, Amirreza Kavianmehr
Dialogue Language: English
Tar is an experimental under-the-camera animation crafted with real strands of hair. In Persian, the word tar carries a dual meaning: both a strand of hair and a traditional Iranian string instrument. Within this symbolic interplay, an enraged centipede storms a young girl’s inner world, shattering musical instruments. Amid the chaos and dissonance, the delicate sound of the tar emerges, opening a fragile space for transformation.
