The Supper
Total playing time 15min
The Supper is based on the ancient iconography of the Last Supper as we know it by paintings like the fresco of Leonardo da Vinci. In The Supper the twelve male apostles have become twelve women. They sit dressed in chador at a table around a male Jesus figure. In slow images, Heravi presents us the two versions of an unspoken story in which the mutual relationships are highly charged. The film tells not only the story of betraying, but – more important – about women and their right to be free. The cultures of East and West come together in this intense film.
