After she was selected for the prestigious Marcie Bloom Fellowship, @saraboutorabi âs Slamdance-winning short BITA JOON is now available to watch on @shortoftheweek !
In this work of experimental fiction, the director casts her own Iranian family to collectively reenact a deceptively ordinary day in the life of her terminally ill mother.â

"Itâs a day like any other in Bitaâs household. One thing is abundantly clear though: she is sick. Still, that doesnât prevent her from living an ordinary life - complaining about her husbandâs cooking, visiting her mother, or wishing her daughter a happy birthday. With Bita Joon, writer/director Sara Boutorabi has crafted a subtle yet unexpectedly sensitive film about family and grief, told with poignant authenticity." - S/W Curator, @iceln â
