Kamran Shirdel (video projection), was one of the most heavily censored documentarists of the Pahlavi era. His films have often been rediscovered long afterwards. Here he presents, for the first time, the unedited rushes of footage that he shot at key places and key moments of the Revolution. Renamed Memories of Destruction, this unique document is a subjective view of the uninterrupted flow of images that surrounded him.
In similar fashion, Bahman Kiarostami (monitor) is reactivating a memorable archive with the video Flowers. These were the first pictures to be shown on Iranian National Radio-Television after the insurgents had invaded the broadcasting headquarters.
