How do you capture happiness in a single shot? In Photo Booth, one couple attempts to embody stability, security, and reliability against a backdrop of 1970s Britain, exploring the immigration struggles – and subsequently, relationship struggles – of an interracial couple trying to secure access. 

Shot in a single take, Brent-born filmmaker Roxy Rezvany, herself of Iranian and Malaysian-Chinese descent, directs the story of Mina and Feras as their relationship unravels, and rebuilds once more, with the flash of a photo booth camera.

A romantic comedy laden with social commentary, its leads navigate expectations and pose as the ‘perfect couple’ in a bid to pave out a new life on British shores – albeit one destined to exist on history’s sidelines. Away from the distractions of their personal environment, we see only their passion, frustration, and vulnerability, in a story of social realism, and history’s tendency to repeat itself in a so-called post-Colonial Britain.
