Threaded (2024) — A Film by Naaman Azhari

On the day of his wedding, Faisal’s memories unravel through the sweaters his mother knitted for him each year — each thread revealing the quiet tensions between love, control, and identity.
Blending rotoscoped animation with painterly textures, Threaded is a poetic reflection on family, expectation, and the parts of ourselves we keep hidden beneath the surface.
