Tehran Through the Window

It’s difficult to record public life in Tehran. Most films in the Signals programme Inside Iran were shot indoors. The stories are often set in a private world, in the house or in the car. Or the films were made abroad.
In Tehran Through the Window, we get to know the other side of the metropolis – we look from the inside out. With a secretly-placed camera, Razavipour films a bus journey that crosses Tehran. Through the window of the bus, we see the city move past us. On the second screen of the installation, we see how life in the city progresses from a fixed point: a table at the window in a bar, where people walk past at random. Uncensored and unedited life in the city.
Neda Razavipour is an Iranian multimedia artist and also plays the lead in the film Ziba (Bani Koshnoudi), which can be seen in the Bright Future section of the festival.
