Description
Displaced in Time tells the story of an Iranian family scattered across years and borders, where home becomes a shadow—ever present, yet always out of reach.
At the heart of the film is the voice of the filmmaker’s mother, whose singing—outlawed in Iran—becomes a powerful act of defiance. Her voice echoes with the weight of exile and the force of resistance.
It reflects on how displacement shapes not only where we live but how we inhabit time itself—where we can only truly meet within the fragile borders of an image.

Pariya Bakhshi
PARIYA BAKHSHI, (they/she) born 1997 in Hiroshima, an Iranian filmmaker and artist, lives in Germany and studies film at Academy of Media Arts Cologne. They grew up in Iran and studied Design in Tehran University of Fine Arts. For them the act of making art and film becomes political, among others, through breaking the conventions and borders of the mediums and one of their main topics is the notion of freedom and exile, as they explore in an autobiographical essay - film Displaced in Time. Their focus in fiction is to translate the unspoken from our reality into a surreal film world, through the expression of the body, beyond language. Hence they work primarily with dancers, such as in L , VELODROME , ANAMORPHOSIS and KATZENBELLEN (CATSBARK).
