In 1978, on the verge of Islamic revolution, more than 130 cinemas burned down across Iran, including 28 in Tehran. Who set them on the fire? How and why? If movies can predict revolutions, does any revolution see the revenge of people unseen on the silver screens?
Blames and Flames
گم و گور
Mohammadreza Farzad
A short documentary film about the bloody massacre of innocent Iranian people in September 8 of 1978. It concentrates on less than a minute of horrifying footage of the bloody killing of people who were unaware of the official curfew, to find out more of the identity of the victims. 'Into Thin Air' can be seen as the moving and pathetic image-reading of any political massacre of innocent victims.

Wedding: A Film
Mohammadreza Farzad
Wedding: A Film is a personal, poetic essay in which Mohammadreza Farzad tries to understand the institution and concept of marriage. Farzad does a survey of your levels; he plays his own wedding video over and over again to look for early signs of unhappiness in his marriage and a future divorce. He looks at other people’s wedding videos to investigate whether a happy wedding means, and is, synonymous with a happy marriage. The hunt for answers goes from the personal and empties into the issues of marriage function in society.
