Mokhtar Namdar

Mokhtar Namdar’s documentary ‘A House in Fog’ recounts the story of Soraya, who lives a life of solitude in a mansion in a hilly landscape. The house is the only reason she tolerates all the hardships of living alone in the wilderness.

Tahere Jourbonyan cannot stand idly by and watch as the forests of Iran's green north are being cut down piece by piece. She travels from Tehran to the vicinity of Ramsar, documents the illegal deforestation, confronts local workers with the short-sightedness of their actions, and asks the authorities uncomfortable questions.
