Korea awards ‘I Am Trying to Remember’

Iranian documentary ‘I Am Trying to Remember’ has won an award at the Busan International Short Film Festival (BISFF) in South Korea.

Iranian actress Pegah Ahangarani’s directorial experience received the Jury Award at the 39th edition of the festival.

In ‘I Am Trying to Remember’, Pegah talks about Gholam, a man who’s not like her father, mother, uncles, or aunts, even though he’s always present at family gatherings.

Gholam films the daily scenes with his own camera. At the time, Pegah can’t imagine what the purpose of these films might be, but she’s happy to pose before the lens of this family friend, who she’s certainly very fond of.

The BISFF has been launched in 1980 as the Korean Short Film Festival. It was the first short film festival to appear in Korea.

The festival aims to discover and introduce outstanding short films from around the world.

The 39th edition of the BISFF took place on April 27-May 2, 2022.
