I Am Irani, a docudrama directed by Farhad Irani will be screened during the 15th annual ReelAbilities Film Festival: New York taking place in Marlene Meyerson JCC Manhattan April 27-May 3, 2023 in a hybrid format.
ReelAbilities Film Festival: New York is the largest festival in the United States dedicated to promoting awareness and appreciation of the lives, stories, and artistic expressions of people with disabilities. Starting at Marlene Meyerson JCC Manhattan in 2007, the annual festival presents award-winning films by and about people with disabilities in multiple locations throughout each hosting city. Post-screening discussions and other engaging programs bring together the community to explore, discuss, embrace, and celebrate the diversity of our shared human experience.
Since 2020, the festival runs in a hybrid format, presenting films and events in-person and virtually. As part of the ReelAbilities accessibility mission, all films are screened with open captions and audio descriptions, and live events include accessible venues and seating, CART (live captions), ASL interpretation, braille materials, and sensory-friendly spaces.
In addition to the original New York festival, ReelAbilities operates an international program with over 20 cities hosting ReelAbilities festivals and screenings that follow the same format and mission throughout the US, Canada, and Latin America.
I Am Irani is a docu-drama based on the life and story of Farhad Irani, a creative force to be reckoned with in Iranian photography. Born in Tehran in June 1985, Farhad faced the challenges of Treacher-Collins syndrome, a rare genetic condition that affects the development of bones and other tissues in the face. Sadly, individuals with this condition often experience isolation and discrimination. But Farhad’s indomitable spirit and determination to overcome all odds have made him a true inspiration to all who know him.
Due to his facial abnormality, Farhad was often rejected and mistreated by society. Although TCS has made Farhad stand out all his life, his mindset, attitude, and ability to rise above all challenges are what set him apart, and allowed him to face his challenges head-on.” People with this syndrome are not different from others when it comes to the formation of the brain, they are on the same terms, and sometimes even have a higher IQ than the average person. The only major issue in their lives is the attitude that society has toward their appearance. Farhad’s strong determination and high morale however made him one that would rise despite all odds through his visual and musical creations.
SYNOPSYS
Farhad, a well-known Iranian photographer, together with his wife Mahsa, decided to leave Iran due to difficulties faced back home. Farhad was born with a rare genetic disorder known as Treacher-Collins Syndrome (TCS), which affects the development of the facial structure. Although TCS has made Farhad stand out all his life, his ability to rise above all challenges is what set him apart.
