 (IR/NO/IT 2025, Morteza Ahmadvand, Firouzeh Khosrovani)

IR/NO/IT 2025, D: Morteza Ahmadvand, Firouzeh Khosrovani, 80’, OV with English subtitles, DCP

In order to stay in closer contact with her ageing parents in Tehran whilst living in the diaspora in the USA, Maryam has a series of cameras installed in their house. She herself fled Iran at the time of the Islamic Revolution and has been unable to return to the country ever since. Through her screen, she follows their daily lives, shares their experiences and, in doing so, reflects on the family’s complex history. Gradually, the functions of surveillance and monitoring provide the conditions of empathy and healing. Yet, as it is often the case in Iran, much is different from what it seems at first glance. With PAST FUTURE CONTINUOUS, multimedia artist Morteza Ahmadvand and documentary filmmaker Firouzeh Khosrovani have created a multi-layered work exploring the experiences of exile, longing and loss, and the relationship between technologically mediated images and the images we form of reality. Images that haunt us in our memories and dreams. An extraordinary film.
