Lahoot • Directed by Shahin Parhami • 1998 • Canada

This short documentary is a lyrical portrait of dreams, memories, and realities. It is a moving and meditative take on myths and rituals combined with Sufi and folkloric melodies. The changing colors of the frames, the sound of Azan, the Sufi chants, and the camera all assemble in a poetic way to showcase a fragmented story. The film’s title, Lahoot, comes from Islamic mythology, a term referring to the world beyond corporeal existence.
