Doc-Feature Film and brunch: Put your soul on your hand and walk

Directed by Sepideh Farsi

2025 | 113 min | Arabic and English | English subtitles

Palestinian-French-Iranian production

Put your soul on your hand and walk is my response, as a filmmaker, to the ongoing massacre of Palestinians. A miracle happened when I met Fatem Hassona. She became my eyes in Gaza, where she resisted while documenting the war, and I became a link between her and the world, from her "Gaza prison," as she named it. We maintained this line of life for almost a year. The bits of sound and pixel that we exchanged became the film that you see. The killing of Fatem on April 16th, 2025, due to an Israeli raid on her house, changes its meaning forever.

Iranian director Sepideh Farsi experienced the revolution at 13, was imprisoned at 16 as a dissident, and left her native Iran at 18. Based in Paris since then, she has studied mathematics, taken photos, and made some fifteen films — documentaries, fiction, and animation — among which Tehran Without Authorization (Locarno), Red Rose (TIFF), and The Siren, a feature animation that deals with the Iran-Iraq war, which was the opening film of Berlinale Panorama and has won numerous awards since. She is currently working on an “Iranian Western” film project, and also developing an animation project inspired by her life, called Memoirs of an Undutiful Girl, all the while fighting for the instauration of democracy in Iran.
