Molf-e Gand [foreboding] is a documentary about a southern character named Mohammad Ghadirzadeh, who, in his mid-forties, takes the director and the audience to the world of his seven-year childhood and the beginning of the eight-year war between Iraq and Iran.
The documentary is a 53-minute uninterrupted view and is considered the longest shot sequence in the history of Iranian documentary cinema. This movie won the special prize of the jury of the Belgian Millennium Festival in Brussels and succeeded in participating in the main part of the 7th Nuremberg International Human Rights Festival.
