Nustālzhī-yi Jā-yi Dīgar: Suhrāb Shahīd Sālis: Guftah'hā, Nāmah'hā, Yāddāsht'hā: Persiska (Farsi) 1403

Sohrab Shahid-Sales is remembered more for his absence from Iranian cinema than for his presence. It is true that, despite his absence after only two films, we see the style and shade of his Egyptian presence in Iranian cinema more than anywhere else. Still, he did not consider himself a filmmaker belonging to a particular place and defined his cinema language beyond geographical boundaries. Therefore, at the beginning of the global success of his two Iranian films and the height of his creativity and youthful energy, he decided to emigrate. In the midst of one of the world's most dynamic cinematic trends, namely "New German Cinema", Shahid Thalath set foot in West Germany and became one of the few filmmakers who were able to make films in their style outside of their native language and in a foreign society and culture. But his incompatibility with German society was no less than with Iran. From his writings, it appears that he did not want to be considered an immigrant or Iranian filmmaker anywhere in Germany, but he wanted to be known as a stylish director and filmmaker who works in German cinema. When he gradually realized that he had to give up this desire, he called himself a "guest worker" of German cinema and finally emigrated from Germany. Nostalgia Elsewhere is a collection of statements, notes, and letters of the third martyr, along with articles from German-language publications and articles from colleagues, as well as the author's conversations with his friends and relatives from the time he lived in Germany until he died in America. But it might not be bad to consider this book as a written "documentary", a film in which the creator wanted to find everything in the search of a radical and uncompromising artist with a very complex personality, in this way, to some extent independently and impartially. And provide it to the audience without interference or manipulation. Perhaps in this way, the protesting, sometimes contradictory, inconsistent, and at the same time full of compassion and philanthropy image of Martyr Thalath will be more faithfully conveyed to the audience and fans of his works.
