Filmscreening & discussion of „About love on a small island“ by
The Strait of Hormuz is currently a constant topic in the news. If you follow their narrative, the place seems to be nothing more than a stage for military operations and international trade. Elaheh Habibi’s short film “About Love on a Small Island” (2018) shows a different side—just like everywhere else, people there live and love one another. The director portrays love and relationships as they are experienced in everyday life—while challenging stereotypes of muslim women and Western ideals of love.
Following the film screening, we would like to discuss love, relationships, and everyday life in the Strait of Hormuz with the director and other guests.
