Mashhad: Available Exclusively on ChaiFlicks
Reboot Studios short film Mashhad streaming exclusively on ChaiFlicks. Set in the holy Islamic city of Mashhad in 1930’s Iran, Mashhad follows Miriam, a young Jewish ghetto girl struggling to understand why her family conceal who they are. An innocent day playing with a neighborhood friend soon threatens the fragile safety of two households. Produced by Reboot Studios and inspired by writer-director Sarah Solemani’s family history in the Mashhadi Jewish community, the film offers a rare cinematic window onto a long-suppressed chapter of Iranian Jewish life. Though set in the past, the story of Mashhad resonates today as conversations about Iran and its people often overlook the complexity of the country’s history and the diverse communities who have lived there.
