Café Tito
Memories arrive here like customers at a café table — unexpected, unruly, sometimes tragic, sometimes comic. From Tehran to Belgrade to the scattered roads of exile, Mehrdad Khameneh gathers fragments of student days under Yugoslav film masters, encounters with migrants and refugees, and the absurd improvisations of survival.With the eye of a filmmaker and the wit of a storyteller, he writes of midnight pistachios in a Balkan bakery, of professors who demanded joy instead of torture, of women carrying unspeakable grief across borders. At once intimate and expansive, Café Tito is less a linear autobiography than a living archive, where history, cinema, and exile flow together like conversations in a café that never closes.Mehrdad Khameneh is a filmmaker, theatre director, and writer. Born in Tehran, he studied directing in Belgrade and Zagreb, and his artistic journey has taken him from European stages to refugee camps, border crossings, and the restless cafés of exile.
