The tale of a tiger

The tale of a tiger

A film by Naeim Jebelli

Centring around the life and daily meanderings of the exiled theatre actor Sadreddin Zahed and his one-man adaptation of Dario Fo’s play by the same name: The Tale of a Tiger is a feature length documentary capturing the experience of being an artist in exile.
From the height of Sadreddin’s career coinciding with the Iranian revolution and having to leave Iran, to being pushed out to a windowless apartment turned theatre workshop in the suburbs of Paris, this documentary is a tale of resilience and madness.
