Ghi Ghoo

Focus on Kurdish Film 2013 / Ghi Ghoo / Iran 2012

A minimalist story about a man, a bird, a nest, and a bell. Equipped with a magnifying glass, an old man moves across desert and wasteland, among ruins, as if looking for treasure. Later he gets a ladder to aid him in his work. A raven catches his eye.... An audio-visually imaginative game of color, light, shadow, and tone.

Ghi Ghoo

Synopsis

A mysterious, minimalist story about a nest and a bell and an encounter between a man and a bird. An old man with a pack on his back and equipped with a magnifying glass moves across desert and wasteland, among the ruins of a bygone city, as if looking for treasure. Later he gets a ladder to aid him in his work. A raven draws his attention, the man imitates its cry. An audio-visually imaginative game of color, light, shadow, and tone.
