”Every object carries both an intimate story and an ecological one. By sharing them, we can question the ways we produce, consume and live, without making future generations bear the cost of the transition.”
Ali Zareghanatnowi is an Iranian filmmaker, author and producer, living in exile in France since 2019. Trained and active in cinema since his teenage years, he has directed numerous documentary, animated and fiction films, alongside work as a teacher and workshop facilitator. In France, he continues his work across film, writing, exhibitions and artistic transmission, particularly through video-editing workshops and collective projects developed with schools, festivals and arts organisations.
His current project, What We Carry, is a participatory documentary installation devoted to everyday objects that people keep throughout their lives and journeys. Starting from objects brought by people in exile, Ali aims to collect stories, images and sound recordings that reveal both their personal and material trajectories: their manufacture, the resources involved, circulation, use and eventual fate. Informed by his own experience of exile, the project brings together memory, migration, consumption and ecology, creating a space in which individual stories become a shared reflection on the ways we live.
