The Boat No. 5

Sahara Flow
Glistening waves softly lap the shore behind a tall figure masked in mirrors. Four young women – striking in their diverse serenity – traverse a verdant forest. And a warrior of peace – armed with a sacred sword – goes forth. This is the world conjured up by director Katya Abedian and rapper/producer Sam Turpin in ‘Sahara Flow’. ‘This short filmic piece is an impressionistic ode to self-inspection, divine purpose and faith in the enchanted. It paints a vision of a futuristic reality that is balanced, anchored and guided by the forces of the natural and spiritual worlds. The narrative is abstractly assembled by the idea that our individual and collective navigations have never been confined to this Earth or its rendering of reality. It tracks the soul’s journey through multiple seasons and phases of life, watched over by angelic spirits. These entities are embodied as divine feminine figures (the anima), radiating the higher wisdom that there is no beginning nor end, only greater depths and stages of learning, understanding and sensitivity. The message is: our path as humans is illuminated by unseen forces and it is our duty to listen to their voices and follow their directions, with an open, fair and honest mind.
Knock Knock
A collaborative animated short with the contribution of several talented artists. The presented work is the outcome of Iranian animators and a few honorable guests from the countries around the globe. Each animator was given 3 seconds to animate their objects entering the frame, hitting the surface, and then making its way out through the bottom of the frame. This action was done to keep accretion throughout the work. The composing and adjusting of the audio were done.
Fifth Narcissus
A young flower seller who sells Narcissus by the roadside experiences the same feeling each time that he sells Narcissus.
