Pig
Directed by Mani Haghighi
Produced by Dark Precursor Productions, Filmiran
A darkly comic, philosophically dense Iranian satire that uses a serial killer targeting filmmakers as a vehicle for exploring artistic worth, depression, and existential irrelevance.
A serial killer is going around killing Iran's most beloved filmmakers. Hasan, a blacklisted filmmaker himself, is depressed and wonders: why isn't he being targeted?
