Arne Said I Was Gone

Ali Ardalan Sweden 2025 8 min Animation

After a radio interview, a political activist experiences a sudden blackout, bringing memories of a painful childhood in Iran to the surface. The story of her father and his fate forms the foundation of this tale about how oppression leaves deep scars on those who live a life of resistance, long after the events themselves have passed. A portrayal of the struggle for understanding, how people carry history in their bodies, and how hidden wounds eventually demand to be seen.
