FILM REVIEW — Iran's `Gabbeh' Weaves Spell of Longing

By Peter Stack, Chronicle Staff Critic Oct 3, 1997

Nature in its impersonal vastness and, oddly enough, carpet weaving are fascinating companions in the visually enchanting "Gabbeh," a new romantic fantasy from Iran. Using weaving as a metaphor, the film looks at human longing and connections between generations in a nomadic tribe on the steppes of Asia.

Films of any kind from Iran are rare here. In Iran itself, a struggling government-run film industry is subject to censorship and Islamic law. "Gabbeh," opening today at Embarcadero Center Cinema and the UC Theatre at Berkeley, was made by Mohsen Makhmalbaf ("The Peddler"), one of Iran's most respected directors. But the film, after its script was originally given official sanction, was later inexplicably banned.

The term "gabbeh" refers to a type of carpet whose images tell a story -- a family's joys, the heroic deeds of a young man, or, as in the case of "Gabbeh," a romance in which a young woman is destined by love (or death) to be swept away.

Makhmalbaf initially was to make a documentary about the weaving of the Ghashghai tribe in southeastern Iran, a place of formidable open spaces, moody skies and extremes of weather. But he was struck by how the craft and its visual poetry were inseparable from the rich human experiences of the weavers.

Perhaps the way "Gabbeh" leaps from documentary to the dreamy fantasy of a young woman (Shaghayegh Djodat) longing for a mysterious horseman to carry her away took the movie far from the original idea that officials had approved.

Not all of Makhmalbaf's efforts to synthesize weaving and an evocative story (with some hokey special effects) are successful. But the photography is fresh and lovely. Frequently the camera draws back to show arid mountains, a shimmering lake, grasslands, grazing livestock -- and by contrast, the tiny imprint of humans, except in the beautiful carpets through which they eloquently express their history.

Lori/Loribaft teppene knyttes av nomader fra Ghashghai- og Lori-stammene sørvest i Iran. Teppene er kjent for de naive og primitive mønstrene. Mønstrene er preget av moderne design. Nomadene som knytter disse vakre teppene, henter inspirasjonen fra miljøet de lever i. Dette gir flotte og unike tepper. Teppene er svært lik Gabbeh – tepper. Loribaft blir i dag også knyttet i Pakistan og India med inspirasjon fra de persiske variantene og med like høy kvalitet. Med naturfarger og håndspunnet ull, er teppene noe av det flotteste man kan ha. Det kan også forekomme innslag av silke i teppene. Et slikt teppe gir et nydelig blikkfang i norske hjem og passer perfekt med moderne preg!🤩

Miahatami a/i 2017-18: un viaggio di stile nell’incanto profondo del deserto

Questa è una di quelle occasioni rare, e per questo assai pregiate, dove la frenesia frivola dei trend rapidi   e capricciosi, che ad ogni giro di giostra di fashion weeks accalappiano gli appetiti mai sazi dei guardaroba fashionisti, lascia spazio ampio e respiro profondo all’incontro con una moda squisitamente unica nel suo genere: originale perché, pardon per l’intreccio giocoso di parole, sceglie proprio le origini come terreno ricco in cui infilare le radici e nutrirle di suggestioni immaginifiche, eppur mirabilmente concrete. 

Questa, infatti, è anche l’occasione preziosa per accogliere l’invito elegante ad un viaggio nuovo e sognante, che in quelle radici originarie trova l’avvio di un cammino d’esplorazione e di stile che conduce assai lontano nella geografia e nella bellezza: a porgerci l’invito è Miahatami, che con la collezione a/i 2017-18 prende per mano il gusto e lo guida nel fascino intenso dei popoli del deserto iraniano.

A dir la verità, l’invito proviene dalla passione densa e mai ferma di Narguess Hatami, che di Miahatami è intelletto creativo e scintilla di vita: come il suono dolcemente musicale del nome conferma, Narguess è fondatrice del brand, dentro il quale la giovinezza all’anagrafe della moda si salda alla lunga e consapevole maturazione in maison made in Italy, da cui la designer ha appreso e serbato segreti di stile che ora son strumento di trasformazione dei suoi sogni in creazioni di squisita sofisticatezza contemporanea. 

L’armonia del nome svela anche un’ulteriore ricercatezza: quella suggestione esotica che accarezza l’orecchio e di lì si appoggia allo sguardo, che attraversa l’amalgama caleidoscopico di forme, tinte e motivi delle creazioni e lascia che il desiderio si abbandoni alla fascinazione, proviene da Teheran, città di nascita e del cuore di Narguess Hatami, luogo d’appartenenza di un sentimento di stile che nella bellezza composita e stratificata nella cultura millenaria dell’Iran fonda l’ispirazione per ogni nuova collezione, che a sua volta diventa occasione di un nuovo itinerario da percorrere con l’immaginazione, ma anche con il valore concreto della vestibilità.

Or dunque, cogliamo tale invito stiloso serbato nella collezione a/i 2017-18, andata in scena durante le presentazioni dell’appena trascorsa settimana della moda milanese dopo aver percorso la passerella di AltaRoma, e lasciamoci guidare: la meta è il deserto, luogo d’incontro col fascino profondo che i Nomadi Ghashghai e Bakhtiari hanno poggiato sullo sguardo e sull’immaginazione creativa di Narguess Hatami. 

Dalla vita plasmata dal viaggio costante di questi popoli provengono le suggestioni di materia impastata al colore, di luce che muta al movimento, che regalano forma inaspettata e dettagli curatissimi alle creazioni: mentre gli occhi scrutano le case incastonate nei paesaggi magnifici della valle dell’Iran, i tappeti tipici Gabbeh e Kilim dalle lavorazioni superbe e le dune di sabbia plasmate dal vento, la mano traduce le immagini in racconti di materia ed eleganza. 

Abiti mini con spalline strutturate o lunghi e fluttuanti, gonne il cui spacco è celato dalle frange, pantaloni che appaiono come gonne, camicie con maniche a sbuffo e cappotti in cammello, felpe ricamate e calzature inedite che in collezione sono una vera novità: in ogni capo c’è un frammento di narrazione in bilico tra fiaba e realtà, intrecciato alle frange lievi e al punto pelliccia che richiama i tappeti, tinto nelle sfumature calde della vita nel deserto, stampato nei motif a mosaico dall’impatto tridimensionale e ricamato a punto croce a decorare il ricordo vivo della bellezza scenografica densa di saggezza tradizionale che, attraverso l’abilità appassionata e perfettamente contemporanea di Miahatami, diventa un racconto da indossare. Buon viaggio!

Ghashghai wedding in Firozabad, Fars, Iran, on May 7, 2009.

Ghashghai & North Indian

Zeeba Khan

My mother is from the Ghashghai Turkish tribe in Shiraz (she’s Shia), Iran and my father is from North India (and is Sunni). Our family in India chose to settle in Bhopal in the 1960s.

They have met at a university professor’s funeral in Texas when they were both students. It was love at first sight. My mother thought my father looked like Rajendra Kumar, a famous Bollywood actor, and my father thought my mother was beautiful. They got married and never went back to live in their home countries. 

It’s a privilege to be a blend of different ethnicities. Our home environment was so rich growing up because of all the culture and traditions from both sides – languages, holidays, food, religion, spirituality, clothing, literature, music, movies, family, love, and travel. Additionally, I grew up in countries that were not my parents’ home countries. I was blessed to have a vast exposure to many different cultures while growing up. It’s amazing how warm and welcoming people are to you if only you make an attempt at speaking their language.

Tell me something that will inspire and empower people like yourself?

Identify 100% with all of you. Don’t let society or other people define you with labels of “Oh, so you’re 50% this and 50% that.” No, you’re 100% of all your cultures. You’re not any less than someone who is 100% of a particular ethnicity. You are simply richer because of your exposure to different cultures at home while growing up.

What would you like to tell your younger self in terms of race? 

Don’t worry about being discriminated against. It’ll happen. You have to be authentic. People will either accept you or reject you, so you might as well have it be on the basis of the REAL you. While it’s true that you are representative of your ethnic group and that a positive interaction with you will help to debunk peoples’ negative stereotypes about your people, it is not your personal responsibility to change their minds. Be you – with your wildness and magic and don’t focus on meeting their expectations of how you should be. 

Anything you’d like to add about your worldview to inspire others?

It was because of my deep desire to teach the universalism of all the world’s ancient traditions and religions that I chose a career as a professor of Intercultural Communication and later ventured into Ayurveda and Meditation. I feel that it’s my duty to pass this attitude of embracing others and their differences to the next generation. My mission is to open people’s hearts and open people’s minds. After all, we are One.

Some people become focused on remaining in touch with their roots and passing on their deep sense of ethnic identity to the next generation. But what they forget is that if we dig even deeper, we will reach the most ancient and life-giving root of all that teaches us that we are all One. And that is the most important teaching that we can, indeed, impart.
