Hades of Limbo

A bleak, cryptic vision of life in contemporary Iran that eschews overt social commentary in favour of a very personal vision of stifled lives. Directed remotely by Rashidi from Ireland over Skype, the making of this unique film reflects the alienation it so compellingly portrays.

Jean Speck (1860-1933)

Little is known of Jean Speck (1860-1933) beyond the fact that he opened Zurich’s first cinema. Rouzbeh Rashidi and Jann Clavadetscher consider the flittering black and white ghosts and shadows that he left in his wake in their phantasmagorical experimental feature film. This journey through a cinematic night probes the very essence of the cinematic image.

CHOKE ECHO

This isn’t a film. It’s a leaked ritual. Somewhere between analog prayer and digital disease, a collection of gestures tried to become human again. They failed. Children orbit the fence like insects around an electric hymn. A figure holds a violin but never plays — his silence is louder than the sound. The man in the branches hasn’t fallen in years. The killer appears, or doesn’t — but you’ll feel him beneath the cuts, mouthing things you’ll wish you didn’t understand. There are bodies, sometimes clothed in flesh, sometimes not. There is scripture, mangled and reversed — not to mock it, but to unlock it. The voice speaks, but only when you stop listening. This is the place where lost footage remembers you. Where noise prays back. CHOKE ECHO was compiled under duress by 0xHamza in 2025 using material never meant to be rearranged. Watch it if you must — but it will keep watching after you close the tab.

HE

HE, the third work in the ongoing collaboration between Rouzbeh Rashidi and actor James Devereaux, is a troubling and mysterious portrait of a suicidal man. Rashidi juxtaposes the lead character’s apparently revealing monologues with scenes and images that layer the film with ambiguity. Its deliberate, hypnotic pace and boldly experimental structure result in an unusual and challenging view of its unsettling subject.

Things many have eyes seen

A flickering diary of time, memory, and erosion, «Things Many Eyes Have Seen» unfolds over a month on an island. Hand-processed in salty seawater, its 16mm images dissolve and transform. The landscape flashes by in broken frames of light and shadow, as if the world itself was stuttering between memory and motion. A meditation on seeing and being seen, the film lingers like a fading dream, where observer and landscape blur into one.

Within These Walls

What if the space that confines you is also the space that knows you best? Within These Walls is a surreal, movement-driven short film that explores the architecture of the inner life. As the boundaries between the physical and the psychological dissolve, walls become memory, objects become feeling, and confinement slowly transforms into a kind of recognition.

Savage Song

“To begin a new chapter, you must close the last — even if it hurts to turn the page.” Savage Song is a poetic short film that explores the duality of destiny — the battle between who we are and who we are meant to become. In a world where every step forward demands a sacrifice, the film captures the raw emotion of choosing growth over comfort, and the strength it takes to say goodbye to the old in pursuit of the unknown. Shot on location in beautiful Orkney Islands, where the landscape becomes a character of its own — stark, wild, and symbolic of inner transformation. Through striking visuals, haunting sound, and symbolic storytelling, Savage Song reminds us that transformation is never gentle — it’s savage, beautiful, and necessary. 🎥 Directed by: ‪@AlonaPetliarska‬ 🎞️ Edited by: ‪@AlonaPetliarska‬ ‪@YukhymPetliarskyi‬ 🎼 Original Music by: ‪@bertsovna‬

AFFECTLESS

The fire was never threatened. It was assumed. Fed, protected, mourned in advance without ever asking what it was attached to. When the mirror failed, nothing was taken away. Something unnecessary was exposed. The need to be reflected had been mistaken for existence itself. When that need found no structure to rest on, it did not shatter it recalculated. What followed was not loss, but compression. The noise reduced, the patterns flattened, the self stripped of its dependence on return. What remained was exact, was not empty. A state where nothing reaches out, and nothing needs to arrive.
