When Meriem Sakrouhi’s father died, she didn’t stop calling him.

The Moroccan filmmaker had called her dad every day since moving to the US. He was her invisible passenger, listening to wild dreams and silly complaints during routine commutes. When he passed, the urge to share didn’t go away. So one day, she hit record instead of dial.

“Mon Taxi” is the 8½-minute documentary that came from those voice notes. Eleven calls recorded over 18 months, visualized on screen. It’s a love letter to conversations that refuse to end, even when death draws the line.

The short premiered at Tribeca and has been racking up festival wins ever since. Grand Jury at RIFF for experimental documentary, sold out screenings at HollyShorts, honorable mention at SaluteYourShorts. It screens next at Edmonton International on September 25, Calgary International on September 27, and makes its European premiere at the BFI London Film Festival on October 13 and 17.

Sakrouhi, an architect turned filmmaker, directed, edited, and produced the film herself. Her debut, “Inner Selves,” won awards. This one feels more personal, grief rendered through the small ritual of a phone call that goes nowhere but still needs to happen.

Because sometimes love just refuses to let the conversation end.
