Archival Assembly also accompanies archive projects over longer periods of time: At Archival Assembly #2, film journalist Hadi Alipanah presented the Iranian Cinema-ye Azad movement (1969-1979). This time, he presents the reconstructed version of the film CHE HARASI DARAD ZOLMAT-HE ROOH!
The filmmaker Nasib Nasibi (1940-2004) was a pioneer of avant-garde cinema in Iran. His work is characterized by a unique combination of poetry and cinema, especially his use of avant-garde and modernist poetry from Iran. Together with his brother Basir, Nasibi was a co-founder of the Cinema-ye Azad movement (1969-1979). His film CHE HARASI DARAD ZOLMAT-HE ROOH! is today considered one of the most important avant-garde films in Iran and tells the story of a tired and bored girl who sells her heart to the devil in order to be reborn in another world according to her wish.
