BARAYE WE YEARN FOR FREEDOM / 2:41
This short was made in the hopes it could amplify some of the internal yearnings reflected by the song Baraye which was written by Shervin Hajipour with words taken from social media of many Iranian women. This yearning, while it has existed for many years, erupted into spontaneous demonstrations throughout Iran after the Morality Police in Tehran caused the death of Mahsa Amini on September 16, 2022.

A short designed and produced by Verona Fonte using the images of the artist Roman Llaguno from the province of Oaxaca in Mexico. The narrative was also written by Verona Fonte and is based on Roman's description of his life and work. All of the images in his paintings at the time Verona met him in 2004 were his family - his wife and children. And the dream sequence described in the beginning of the narrative is a repetitive dream Roman had. Roman's work was influenced by Marc Chagall and by his dreams.
