Silent House (documentary) is a 2022 Iranian documentary film coproduced by France, Canada, Philippines and Qatar directed by Farnaz Jurabchian and Mohammadreza Jurabchian, produced by Farnaz Jurabchian and Mohammadreza Jurabchian from F&M Productions and co-produced by National Film Board of Canada, Jewel Maranan from Cinema Is Incomplete, STÉPHANIE LEBRUN from Babel doc, Elaheh Nobakht from Eli Image and Al Jazeera Documentary Chanel, the story of three generations of an Iranian family who live in a one-hundred-year-old house in Tehran. Through archival family footage woven with contemporary images, the two filmmakers, Farnaz and Mohammadreza, a brother and sister in the family, portray their family’s evolution across 40 years, from the 1979 Islamic Revolution until the present time. They follow each family member entangled in the tides of their country’s complicated history. Charting the changes experienced by the members of this traditional family in a highly personal narration, they weave together a rich tapestry of social and political themes. With the house itself as a silent witness, the family’s story becomes a mirror of society. The film was selected at IDFA 2022 in the international competition and nominated for the IDFA award for the Best First Feature. The Iranian co-directors of “Silent House” have been banned from leaving their country by Iranian Authorities, and so will be unable to travel to the Netherlands, where the film will have its world premiere at IDFA, one of the world’s leading documentary film festivals.
