The story of the Simurgh and the birds’ journey in search of a righteous king is a timeless allegory for the quest for freedom and self-discovery—themes that resonate deeply in the context of immigration. Simurgh, a short film inspired by Persian myth, is an embodiment of this exploration. The film aims to bridge the ancient and the modern, creating a narrative that speaks to contemporary audiences while drawing from the rich tapestry of Persian mythology.
