For a Moment, Freedom (Ein Augenblick Freiheit / Pour un instant la liberté), written and directed by Austrian-Iranian filmmaker Arash T. Riahi, is Austria's Oscar nominee for the Best Foreign Language Film 2010.

For a Moment Freedom tells of the odyssey of three Iranians/Kurdish groups of refugees: a married couple with a child, two young men with two children, and two men who are friends despite the differences between them. Arash T. Riahi depicts the plight of people trying to flee their homeland and the curious, transitory state of asylum-seekers with tragic comedy and great suspense.
