Autour d'une table!






Yet not sure about the title !  but this film is at the end. I need to find a bit more money to pay for the studios!! I'm impatient to finish the final editing , going to the studio for the voice recording and then the music... .

Working on this film made me think seriously about moving my studio outside of my living space. I can no more live and work like a frog on a lake!!!

Montréal in cut-outs



These images are some other sketches from Montréal ,,, I'm looking for ways to get them simpler and a bit more like a hand drawn image, in terms of lines and contours.

Paper Montréal- Take1


I’m looking for a way to visualize Montréal in the simplest way. Looking at old photos of Montréal helps me in some way to minimize the elements. Everything used to be more unified and more organized. I notice some urban elements of the city in those photos that are still present in the city but hidden among all the details and visual distractions. This is a project of exploration. I’m spotting different locations and different approaches, until I come up with the best Montréal for my film.

Question No.1 : Shirin decides to leave the book. Will Khosro abandons his page to join him?

yes------- no-------


Question No. 2: Even if Shirin goes on a journey as far as Montréal?
