TEHRAN-GELES

TEHRAN-GELES
by Arash Nassiri
Country: France
Year: 2014
Duration: 18'


Tehran-Geles is a fictional vision of Tehran, set within the urban landscape of Los Angeles. Through an aerial journey, we discover an architectural transposition of the two cities. While flying over the LA boulevards, personal migrant testimonies echo the collective story of the Iranian capital. Downtown, the buildings are saturated with neon signs pulsating with voices that take us on a hallucinatory trip. Parallel to the science fictional genre where the present is projected into the future, this short film projects the past of Tehran into the Western present. A real audio-visual migration, where aerial shots of Los Angeles merge with videos filmed in Tehran, as well as interviews recorded via Skype in different cities around the world.
