Dream

A creation in warp and woof of a dream.


My Brain Burst Out Laughing

This animation is made experimentally and narrates the war in this world, and human beings ignore the impact of their behavior on their environment.


Hasti

Whenever I sigh, you are there. If I crawled into a corner out of grief, you are there. With every drop of my tears, you are there.  O light of the world! Shine on my darkness for my answer…


Isolation

Isolation Music Video is the story of the song by the same name, created by the artist A-Sean. A true story based on the artist's own life and a period of Isolation.


Daily Massacre in Tehran

Fuad is a 12-year-old young boy who has come to the capital city, from surrounding cities, to be able to support his family. He is willing and ready to take on any paying job and engages in any business, including slaughtering roosters, sifting through garbage, and carrying loads, where he encounters problems and challenges in every job. "Daily Massacre in Tehran" portrays pieces and layers from the life and problems of a young small-town boy in the capital city.

Screening with: Shorts Program #1


Breakdance in Iran

When the name Iran is mentioned the last thing the viewer will expect is b-boys demonstrating their dance skills. This is the intimate and fun story of b-boy Commando, b-boy Farzin, b-boy Vahid LC and b-boy Grubby. Four young Iranian guys who make up the Rahaa breakdance group are based in Tehran, Iran. You will experience a side of Iranian culture that many have not witnessed and fall in love with the story of four funny and talented breakdancers. This is a funny, intimate, and feel-good documentary called “Breakdance in Iran”.


The Past

A writer who was under interrogation and harassed and threatened by government officials in the past is still in constant fear. Now he wants to begin to write again, but due to his fear, he is not able yet.


GOLTAM

Eastern women think themselves; society and others can damage their identity. That’s why they lower themselves in society, in speaking, and even in dancing. The condition of being free from damage or defect is the goal to move, to research, to do something. Goltam’s aim is to build a woman’s mind as structural integrity. This mind is mine, is yours, and could be for any other woman who has the mentality to change.


Rain

Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet. Maybe this animation is an adaptation of Roger Miller's poem. The story is about the forgotten place of humans in nature. Sudden rain in a modern city tries to remind people of this, but they all prefer to be in umbrella cages. During this story, a little girl can discover a new world created by rain and find that she is the king of this new world.
