SCREENING IS CANCELLED DUE TO RAINY WEATHER.


In collaboration with Edison Filmhub, we bring you a screening of Pig as part of the DOX Summer Cinema

Iranian film directors are being brutally slaughtered, one after another, by an unknown serial killer. Yet Hasan Kasmai, who, like Jafar Panahi and others, is on a blacklist of the Islamist government, remains unscathed. Why is he, one of the country’s finest film-makers, being ignored by the mysterious assassin? The ambitious, slightly hysterical, frustrated and failing Hasan decides to follow the bloody trail. His life turns into a delirious trip, replete with nonsense, hilarious jinks and errors. Mani Haghighi’s Pig is haywire, autobiographical account of a society living in constant fear, presented with a cynical grin. His feature is a brassy political allegory, a boorish zany comedy, and a crooked guitar solo in the dungeon of an authoritarian regime.

Language: FA, TR, EN
Directed by: Mani Haghighi

Point of View: Identity

Another instalment of the long-term project, which combines the format of an exhibition and a classroom and focuses on the theme of human identity. Who am I? What am I? The human form naturally takes centre stage; the body, its clothing, its behaviour. A person's identity and the different ways of looking at it.


David Lynch: Up in Flames

Stick Immersed in Water Appears Bent

The exhibition in the Fine Art Archive is held as part of the celebration of the tenth anniversary of Kilan s.r.u., which is focused on the synthesis of absurd reality. A photographic image and a text that combine to create a refined concept distributed through the medium of a desk calendar.


Point of View: Balance

The third instalment of a long-term project seeks a balance between the organic and technical worlds. The work of Czech and foreign artists reveals the various connections between nature and technology - two seemingly disparate environments to which we intrinsically belong today, even though we perceive a certain tension between them.


Refuge

They're on their way. Out of fear. No guarantees. Three people cross paths on the run. Bound to each other, they traverse territories of anxiety, courage, failure and compassion. They seek refuge in a world that doesn't care for them.
