Conversation between Sam Samiee & Atousa Bandeh Ghiasabadi
Artists Sam Samiee and Atousa Bandeh Ghiasabadi reflect on the relationship between cinema, migration, and memory. Delving into how personal and collective histories are shaped through moving images. Moderated by film programmer Humie Pourseyf.

Drawing from their own experiences and artistic practices, Sam Samiee and Atousa Bandeh Ghiasabadi reflect on cinema’s capacity to archive, distort, and reinvent memory across borders. Offering insights into how migration transforms the way stories are told, remembered, and depicted.
This also prompts a critical examination of the ethics of representation: who holds the right to represent, to remember, or to reinterpret collective histories? In navigating different cultural codes and expectations, both artists grapple with the responsibilities that come with narratives that are not only personal, but also politically charged and historically burdened.
