MOVING UPLoghman Khalediprix <strong>de</strong>s médiathèques / prix renaud victor / compétition premier film / première mondialeCIShahriyar est éboueur à Kermanshah, Kurdistan. Son quotidien : lesdéchets et les rebuts. Mais Shariar a la tête ailleurs. Sa vie, c’est lalittérature. Voilà un livre sur une étagère ou per<strong>du</strong> par terre ? Shariar s’yabîme, au risque d’oublier le mon<strong>de</strong>, sa famille, les exigences <strong>de</strong> sonmétier. Éclectique dans ses goûts, il prise autant London que Beckett,dont une photographie orne le mur <strong>de</strong> sa chambre, Shakespeare ouDostoïevsky. Mais lire n’est pas assez, il écrit aussi, obstinément, remplissantcarnets, cahiers, feuillets et paperoles d’histoires d’amour peuplées<strong>de</strong> belles princesses aux yeux bleus et aux parures <strong>de</strong> couleurs vives. Decette vocation ar<strong>de</strong>nte, il voudrait faire son métier, mais tout fait obstacleà cette « ascension » qu’évoque le titre. Incompréhension <strong>de</strong> son épouseet <strong>de</strong> ses collègues, critique acerbe d’aspirants écrivains comme luidans un atelier d’écriture, tracasseries <strong>de</strong>s voisins, échecs auprès <strong>de</strong>séditeurs. Seule audience prête à suivre ses envolées, un auditoire <strong>de</strong>pigeons domestiques sur sa terrasse, mais qui eux aussi, enclos <strong>de</strong>rrièreune grille, ne sont pas autorisés à gagner les cieux. Pour son premierfilm, Loghman Khaledi livre le portrait mélancolique d’un homme auxprises avec ses rêves. Sans con<strong>de</strong>scendance, ni naïveté béate, Khaledifait <strong>de</strong> son personnage l’ambassa<strong>de</strong>ur manifeste <strong>de</strong>s espoirs interdits,en butte contre l’étouffoir <strong>de</strong>s conformismes d’une société où chacun estsommé <strong>de</strong> rester à sa place.

His everyday life: rubbishand trash. But his mind is elsewhere. His life is literature. There’s a book on a shelfor dropped on the ground? Shariar loses himself in reading at the risk of forgettingthe world, his family and the <strong>de</strong>mands of his job. His tastes are eclectic: he valuesJack London as much as Shakespeare, Dostoievesky or Samuel Beckett, aphotograph of the latter <strong>de</strong>corates the wall of his room. But reading isn’t enough;he also writes, obstinately, filling notebooks, journals, pages and scraps of paperwith love stories populated with beautiful princesses with blue eyes <strong>de</strong>cked out inbrightly-colored costumes. Of this ar<strong>de</strong>nt vocation, he wanted to make a profession,but everything stands in the way of the advancement evoked by the title. A lack ofun<strong>de</strong>rstanding from his wife and his colleagues, a caustic criticism from aspiringwriters like him in a writing workshop, harassment by his neighbors and repeatedrejections from publishers. The only audience ready to follow his flights of fancy,an auditory of domestic pigeons on his terrace; enclosed behind bars, they, too,are unable to reach the heavens. For his first film, Loghman Khaledi <strong>de</strong>livers themelancholy portrait of a man wrestling with his dreams. With neither con<strong>de</strong>ncensionnor smug naivety, Khaledi makes his character the manifest ambassador offorbid<strong>de</strong>n hopes, struggling against the dampening conformisim of a society whereeveryone is obliged to remain in his place.
