Simurgh, a short film inspired by the Persian myth, is an embodiment of this exploration. The story of the Simurgh and the birds’ journey in search of a righteous king is a timeless allegory for the quest for freedom and self-discovery, themes that resonate deeply in the context of immigration. Through this film, I aim to bridge the ancient and the modern, creating a narrative that speaks to contemporary audiences while drawing from the rich tapestry of Persian mythology.
