Actor Rouzbeh Rashidi HD Instagram Photos and Wallpapers October 2023

Rouzbeh Rashidi Instagram - We extend our sincere gratitude to all those who attended the Experimental Film Society screenings as part of the Cinematic Synesthesia of the Tehran Contemporary Sounds at Kino Central. One screening was completely sold out, and the other had a nearly full house. The audience's passion and active participation during the question-and-answer sessions added energy and excitement to the screenings. We would like to express our thanks to the talented filmmakers and artists who entrusted us with their magnificent works: Yasaman Pishvaei, Nazgol Kashani, Johnny Clyde, Wasim Ghrioui, Anahita Safarnejad, and Atoosa Pour Hosseini. It has been an exceptional series of events. I, personally, would also like to express my eternal gratitude to Janna Heiss and Behrooz Moosavi, the founders and curators of Tehran Contemporary Sounds. Collaborating with them over the past few weeks has been a pleasure and an honour. Working with them stood out because they were willing to experiment and take risks in uncharted territories. Collaborations like these make all the effort worthwhile. We would also like to thank the backers and supporters of our project "Goethe-Institut im Exil" and "Kino Central" for their generous support. Tehran Contemporary Sounds will continue in Berlin over the weekend, featuring a fantastic lineup of musicians. If you are in town, be sure to attend. Onwards!

Rouzbeh Rashidi Instagram - I have recently updated the description and personal statement for my Homo Sapiens Project (HSP) series: “Rouzbeh Rashidi has been creating films as part of his Homo Sapiens Project (HSP) since 2000. While this unique approach to filmmaking initially developed unconsciously without a full understanding of the project’s scope, it took him over a decade to truly define and name the Homo Sapiens Project. The prime examples of this philosophy are HSP (200) and HSP (201). HSP (200) was started in 2000 as a work in progress and completed in 2020, with a duration of 490 minutes. Similarly, HSP (201) began in 2002 and finished in 2021, lasting 1150 minutes. These films represent a constant quest for equilibrium and connotation. Each section of the Homo Sapiens Project serves as a form of therapeutic practice, reflecting significant life events, stylistic changes, and thematic shifts in Rashidi’s filmography. They are about peace, a concept rarely existing within Rashidi’s work. The main purpose of the HSP is to explore the medium of filmmaking and cinema itself, while also allowing Rashidi to live and thrive within it.” To have a look, you can visit this page: http://rouzbehrashidi.com/homo-sapiens-project/ Furthermore, you can stream or download the entire catalogue of HSP on the same page.

Rouzbeh Rashidi Instagram - Get a behind-the-scenes look at the making of my upcoming feature film, Elpis. These two photographs were taken in various locations in Latvia, revealing the working conditions on set. Despite the serene appearance, shooting Elpis was a rigorous and physically demanding experience. Filming took place deep in the natural landscapes of Latvia, Estonia, Ireland, and Germany, where we were isolated from civilization. The environment was plagued with flies, mosquitoes, and strange bugs like ticks. I even fell ill during the shoot, taking two weeks to recover and nearly ending up in the hospital. With the effects of climate change intensifying, the scorching heat and harsh sun made the experience even more formidable. Despite all the hardships, shooting this film over the past three years has been a journey that I wouldn't trade for anything. Don't miss the European premiere of Elpis in October.

Rouzbeh Rashidi Instagram - I'm thrilled to announce the completion of my latest feature film, Elpis. Thanks to the generous support of the Arts Council of Ireland, this passion project has come to life after more than three dedicated years. As the founder of the Experimental Film Society, I've utilized the experimental filmmaking strategies I've honed over two decades to bring Elpis to the screen. This film wouldn't have been possible without the incredible contributions of my dream team, including Elika Ostrov, Claudia Basrawi, and Jason O'Rourke. I'll be forever grateful to them. Elpis represents a departure from my previous work in feature filmmaking, exploring new dimensions of art and humanity that have always captivated me. It's been a challenging and demanding journey, but the result is a film that enters the second phase of my filmmaking practice, delving into the potential of slow cinema, poetic documentary approaches, and film essays. I've also incorporated language, text, and poetic screenplays in a way that I've never done before, and the discovery process has been truly fascinating. Visually, Elpis breaks new ground with innovative cinematography, optical approaches, colour grading, and sound design. We filmed in the depths of nature in the Baltic countries, including Latvia and Estonia, with additional scenes shot in Ireland and Germany. Just like a lone Pictorialism photographer, I've realized my dream of creating cinema as a solitary artist. Elpis is a poetic essay film that explores the effects of the Iran-Iraq War and its lasting trauma and psychological impact. Through the voice of a woman writing a book, we delve into themes of war, diaspora, immigration, love, and alienation, using sensory and experiential techniques. In the coming weeks and months, I'll be sharing exciting news about upcoming screenings, reviews, articles, and behind-the-scenes insights into the making of the film. Stay tuned for updates, and join me on this intimate and vulnerable cinematic journey. Onwards! @artscouncilireland @experimentalfilmsociety @ostrovelika @claudiabasrawi @jasonoruairc

Rouzbeh Rashidi Instagram - Homo Sapiens Project (201) was completed in 2021 as part of re-envisioning and restructuring my filmography. This nineteen-hour experimental feature is constituted from many feature films I produced between 2002 to 2014. I made these films first and foremost as an extreme and extended formalistic exercise which eventually became a way of trying to make sense of my life as both an artist and an immigrant. I must insist that this work is not a new film but rather one that has been rehabilitated, reinvigorated, and resurrected from the dead. As if the film restored itself (with my help) to full health and normal living through discipline and healing after an extended, somewhat subliminal period of imprisonment, addiction, or illness. The healing was that they needed to become part of one unified body and nervous system. Therefore, the Homo Sapiens Project was the only possible final catharsis for the fate of these films. I had made a series of films without knowing why I made them or for what purpose. All I knew was I had to make them because of a unique internal urge. As if you are pregnant with this idea and it needs to come out. But why? The only answers to such questions are in the films themselves, films made under a specific set of human circumstances and situations at a given moment in your life. I discovered that by making these films I had provided answers to questions that I didn’t even realise existed at the time. It can take a long time to understand the context of a film. Sometimes it never reveals itself. And why should it when the uncanny reality of life is profoundly mysterious as it is? And there is, ultimately, no difference between filmmaking and living life in my view. Therefore, this film’s path had circled back on itself, taking the form of an ellipse or a spiral but never a straight unbroken thread. The rectilinear belongs only to geometry and not to the nature of evolving. In the end, I was scared and asked myself a fundamental question: what if this work also is part of a bigger film and scenario that I am not even aware of and cannot picture at this stage? My life as a filmmaker, perhaps? I do not know. 📽️🎞️👉 https://rb.gy/4czfr

Rouzbeh Rashidi Instagram - Trailer for my Homo Sapiens Project (200) (2000 2020, 490 minutes, Iran / Ireland). This eight-hour experimental feature is constituted from short film experiments made between 2000 to 2010. These films have already undergone many metamorphoses over the years. They were always restless wandering spirits seeking a permanent place of rest but so far without success. Each section of homo sapiens project (200) was made under the unique condition of living out a form of subtle therapeutic practice. Collectively they reflect major life-changing events, formalistic mutations and thematic shifts within my filmography. It is available for streaming and/or download on my website here: http://rouzbehrashidi.com/hsp/homo-sapiens-project-200-2000-2020/ 📽️🎞️👉 LINK IN BIO

Rouzbeh Rashidi Instagram - Over the past few days, I had an incredible time teaching an "experimental and personal filmmaking" course to a group of unique and great students worldwide as part of the @berlinartinstitute masterclass programmes. Although teaching has recently become my primary source of financial sustainability, I consider it an extension of my filmmaking and take it extremely seriously to the utmost level. I love working with and mentoring filmmakers and artists, and the outcome of what they produce is highly fascinating. For example, in this masterclass, we made a collaborative film between 12 artists from many different disciplines, and the result was sheer poetic sensorial cinematic work. I am very proud of every one of them; well-done indeed! @berlinartinstitute and I will organise several on-site physical courses in Berlin and other master classes in the coming months. Watch the space for more news and announcements; intriguing filmmaking adventures are coming soon! Photo credit: © www.BerlinArtInstitute.com Berlin, Germany
