In search of that comforting noise of human industry, the sound of making things for good use, where melodious music is heard in human noises -where we can dwell in inner peace in the presence of outer noise.

Picture
"She translates Medieval poetry meticulously and audaciously. In between she dreams up  melodies and fabulous tales. No one knows where they come from. But for her, they  are just matter of everyday life.
She says for her, making a film is like writing a poem. Her films are abstract and ambiguous. They stem from the commonplace, arise, only to return to the simplest human realm. One must go back to see and hear them again to grasp one missed before. The good news is that there is always something else, something new one can grab in her creations.
Currently, Zahra is working on a new film entitled "Softly - A GIANT STEP" and planning the recording of her song cycle "Love Lines"."
