The film is finished and the war lingers.

Even  though I witnessed the explosions and destruction of my home town , from a distance and through the drips of videos captured by Tehranians who stayed, there is no doubt that the period of so called 12 days war, have reshaped us all, inside and outside the country. After such a period,there comes a time of re assessing, re evaluation and re defining. Everything finds new meaning and this affects all aspects of life.

  The Commonplace Unravelled: The Films of Tara Najd Ahmadi A wooden drawing figure is gently positioned in pots, pans and jars to go through the process of making a simple Iranian dish of egg, rice and pickles. We view his level of resistance scientifically illustrated in diagrams appearing after each process. We are witnessing a simple domestic act while a wooden human figure goes through various forms of pressure and oppression.

A whole universe in the bark of an old tree

Image
  Step by step, we are getting closer to the studio shoot day of the new film and I am so excited to work each member of the team. The shoot days with Matt Davis , surveying the bark of an old Walnut tree in Bristol with his macro lenses was amazing. A whole universe lives in the cracks of the bark of an old tree. Ripple Effect has been screened in few places. The great Ultra Cinema Festival which I really hope I can attend one year.It was amazing to watch the film along   with many great films in Laussan’s LUFF festival , meeting and making new friends. Next stop will be Kassel Documentary festival.   In the mean time, there are even more world events to digests. The American election, seems like world’s election and we are all waiting what effect the choice of a nation  will have on us all in different countires.It seems the world order needs revising.

Image
  I have now passed the first daunting first round of editing Walnut of Knowledge. The phase that the first draft of film comes together and finally I can see what I had in mind in a physical time line. After this, it is all about watching, sharing and tweaking. I am so excited to work with Rob for creating the soundscape of the film. In the mean time, Ripple Effect was part of amazing Revolution per minute Festival . I also had a short contribution to Parking VideoLibrary ’s programme at Kotti-shop, Berlin, The Sleep Cycles .
