Searching for Simorgh
Set in Montgomery, Alabama—a city shaped by both the Confederacy and the Civil Rights Movement—the film follows renowned French street art duo MonkeyBird as they partner with Alabama artists to create public art inspired by the 12th-century Persian poem, Conference of the Birds. The film explores why art matters, how the meaning of home takes shape, and how we're all part of a shared human journey.
