Becoming Iphigenia, is a 2023 German movie, directed by Reem Al-Ghazzi. with a runtime of 67 minutes.
Becoming Iphigenia is a documentary film following a group of young Syrian women in Germany as they rehearse for a documentary theatre production. Before they can take the stage, each must confront the deeply embedded patriarchal inheritance that shaped their upbringing in Syria — an inner reckoning that becomes as demanding as the performance itself. Set against the backdrop of rebuilding lives in a foreign country, the film traces the intersection of artistic creation and personal liberation, showing how these women use the theatrical process to examine, challenge, and ultimately reclaim their own stories. A moving portrait of resilience, identity, and what it means to come into one's own.
