Shooting Stars

In production
Directed by Parsa Ansari

While investigating mysterious UFO sightings from his childhood, a boy begins to question who the real aliens are. His search gradually shifts from extraterrestrial fantasies toward the invisible outsiders living among us on Earth. Blending cosmic imagination with social observation, Shooting Stars explores themes of identity, alienation, and social division. Through the metaphor of space and extraterrestrial life, the film reflects on how societies label, exclude, and construct the “other.”
