-- Dir. Mehran Tamadon - 112min - 2023 - France, Switzerland --
Là où Dieu n'est pas (Where God Is Not) is a film based on the testimonials of those who have been brutally treated by the Iranian regime. It seeks to understand how the most repressive aspects of this totalitarian system rely on imprisonment and torture. What does the torturer do? What are his gestures and practices? How can a left-wing activist, under the pressure of a totalitarian regime, end up changing sides and participate under duress in such a repressive system? How can the fight be carried out? These are questions that have haunted me since the first feature film I made in Iran on the regime’s militia. Once again, I am trying to understand power by looking at it from the perspective of those who have directly experienced the violence meted out by the Iranian regime.
