All my Sisters: Eighteen Years Between Family, Freedom, and Social Change

The Filmforum presents Massoud Bakhshi's documentary All my Sisters at the Parktheater Lindau. Over a period of eighteen years, the film follows three sisters in Tehran – from early childhood to their daily lives as young women searching for identity and freedom.

A Cinematic Journey Through Growing Up

Between 2007 and 2025, an intense portrait of a family emerges, whose loving everyday life is shaped by the societal tensions of today's Iran. The camera observes the sisters in familiar indoor settings, in their family environment, and during their education. Through small gestures, glances, and changes, a multifaceted exploration of growing up takes shape.

Personal Intimacy Meets Political Reality

Massoud Bakhshi combines documentary long-term observation with precise social analysis. Traditional upbringing, female self-determination, and the search for one's own life design enter into a dynamic dialogue. The aesthetic experience of the film arises from the closeness to the protagonists: everyday scenes, familial warmth, and quiet moments of resistance create a subtle image of Iranian reality.

Documentary Film Between Intimacy and Contemporary History

The staging unfolds almost like a documentary family saga. The film's long-term observation over the years resembles the temporal structure of Richard Linklater's Boyhood, yet retains its own cultural perspective. Direction, screenplay, and cinematography are by Massoud Bakhshi; editing is by Hayedeh Safiyari. The original version with German subtitles allows the voices, speech rhythms, and atmosphere of Iranian everyday life to resonate directly.

Festival Experience and Artful Observation

All my Sisters was featured in the documentary competition of IDFA 2025 and in the documentary competition of the Hong Kong Film Festival 2026. Critical voices recognize the film as a feminist coming-of-age story and as a moving work that intertwines the personal and the political. For the audience, a concentrated artistic experience emerges between film art, cultural education, and social reflection.

Conclusion: A Moving Cinematic Experience at the Parktheater

The Filmforum invites you to an intense encounter with three young women whose life paths are shaped by familial bonds and the desire for freedom. The exhibition atmosphere gives way to the special power of the cinema space: light, image, language, and time condense into an aesthetic experience of female identity and social change. Art enthusiasts and film lovers should experience this compelling documentary event live at the Parktheater Lindau on October 21, 2026.
