Hazm kardan dushvor ast

Hazm kardan dushvor ast (Hard to digest) is a short film that weaves together the video archives of women in Nazira Karimi’s family with the archival footage authored by European women from the collection of Vienna’s Filmmuseum. Atop, as a separate layer, comes the filmmaker’s voiceover where she shares a recipe for Central Asian cultural food in her broken German language. Through the lens of food and language, addressing white European feminist perspective, the film delves into the intersection of personal history and cultural identity.
