Sohrab Shahid Saless shot 13 films in Germany between 1975-1991, and yet his work remains largely unknown in film history today. Although his films were shown at important festivals in Berlin, Cannes, and New York, they are largely unavailable today—and if they are, then only on prints of bad quality. Even during his lifetime, Saless himself consistently pointed out the hurdles of German film funding, not least because his history of migration made it more difficult for him to get financial support for his films there. In 2016 the Zeughauskino in Berlin showed a first comprehensive retrospective of his films.
