In Iran's entry for the 2024 Best Animated Short Oscar, a woman reminisces about the hijab she had to wear at her school, while images unscroll over fabric.
It's a cleverly done metaphor about how choice of clothes both conceal and reveal, but in some ways it's fairly close to "Radio With Pictures", that field of movie-making which seems to make the images of small importance for what the movie has to say. Still, I found it a cheeky entry, from its opening credit in which the audience is assured there's no intent to imply anything wrong about being forced to wear such garb, and so no reason for this not to be shown in its country of origin.
