Home Actor Rouzbeh Rashidi HD Instagram Photos and Wallpapers October 2023 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 – 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 – 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.
