Azar Saiyar’s My Home is installed at Goethe Institute, Prague from November 17–23, 2023, as a part of a programme presenting works from the Arsenal Berlinale Forum Expanded catalogue. The films are screened for a week each over a six-week period starting at the end of October.

In My Home: Fragmented memories of childhood and adulthood blend together in a song that an unknown narrator is humming. In a sixties TV show children are learning a new game. Someone is waiting in the hallway for a permission to re-enter the classroom. Everything is set. Everything is nailed.

Azar Saiyar is a Helsinki-based filmmaker and visual artist. She often uses archive materials and plays with images and words of collective memory to look towards ways of looking, remembering and storytelling. Her films have been screened at international film and media art festivals, galleries, exhibitions, museums and broadcast on television.
