The work and its context
Tableau’s originating channel credits a work by Kaveh Golestan and a story by Rabihavi. In the accompanying written introduction, Rabihavi describes choosing a face from Golestan’s war photographs as the principal character before choosing the story. Photography and writing retain their distinct creative roles. Source 49
The Czech community film database DIV.cz lists Hejleh with the year 1989, direction by Golestan and Rabihavi as narrator. Tableau’s upload is dated 18 September 2013 and gives 15:47. These are source-specific fields: the later upload is not a new production date, and the sources do not establish the relationship between particular versions. Source 48 · Source 49
Tableau presents the video around the anniversary of the war’s outbreak. The written introduction questions martyrdom through a young person’s understanding of death. It supplies an author’s route into the work rather than a complete spoken transcript; the recording guide provides the player and its current access information. Source 49
