TRAILERS(2016)

2.5/5 (with 1 vote)

TRAILERS unites the most personal and experimental aspects of underground filmmaking with a scope that is as cosmically vast as a science fiction epic. Rashidi’s ongoing exploration into the nature of cinema sees a group of characters adrift in space, each locked into their own sexual rituals while a cataclysm of universal proportions unfolds. Humanity has become a mysterious burlesque show for alien eyes: the gaze of the film camera. This visionary spectacle uses multiple formats and visual textures in weaving an erotic anti-narrative suspended in its own space and time.

Zoetrope(2011)

1h 13min

Zoetrope deals with the quality of being expressive, explores the locations & reveals a life in a small house and its surrounding. The film slowly evolves and shows the history of nothingness of the characters who are in Zoetrope.

Directed by Rouzbeh Rashidi

HE(2012)

2h 1min | Mystery
5.0/5 (with 1 vote)

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.

Immanence Deconstruction of Us(2011)

1h 9min | Fantasy, Mystery

Immanence Deconstruction of Us: is the ‘Us’ of the title the ghostly figures, now long disappeared, from the old found footage home movies here reassembled? Or is it ‘Us’ today, watching these figures still moving, still moving in spite of the passage of time? Either way, all dissolve in the thick snow of film grain from which they emerge in Rouzbeh Rashidi’s haunting tenth feature film.

tenebrous city & ill-lighted mortals(2011)

1h 6min | Fantasy, Mystery

A phantasmal figure paces the city at night, dipping through patches of light and shade, while assailed by visions of daily life and intimacy.

Cremation of an Ideology(2011)

1h 2min

The enclosed, private space a man occupies is penetrated only by images brought from across distances by the internet. Space, distance and memory collapse in this haunting meditation on absence and virtual presence in the 21st century.

Light & Quiet(2008)

1h 7min

One is presented with a man. A man who has no news or mail. A man who lives alone. A man who resides only to himself and his hotel room. He is tortured by his mind, and in that sense he could be claustrophobic in even the largest of cityscapes, like the one that spreads out far beyond his hotel room. A city that will bring characters who will present him with small courier tasks. But in the end it is this human nature that will alienate him from all of those whom he knows (be they crooks, radicals or cultural gangsters).

Reminiscences of Yearning(2011)

1h 30min

Reminiscences of Yearning is so many ghosts, searching the landscape for traces. there’s no sense of the past- it’s in the present, searching the footage for what remains, a summoning of the disappeared. We’re invited to patiently wait and see if they appear or not. A ritual. At least ….

In a remote rural estate house, a woman sleeps, she is alone. It’s a time not far from the dawn of the moving image, the obsessed and wealthy Dr. Epstein engineers a number of scientific experiments. He subjects his adopted children, Pete and Re-Pete, along with his darling flapper, Baby Dee, to his various scientific tasks. Things take a decidedly strange turn when Epstein makes a deal with some shifty-looking vagabonds. On doing so he opens a door to the unknown, ruptures the fabric of time and unleashes a shadow-like character bent on reducing all those he encounters to dust.

Espectros da Terra(2019)

4min | Fantasy, Horror
2.5/5 (with 1 vote)

A film of a dying world populated by mythic creatures and spirits, our personal meditation on nature and the environment captured on Super 8 film.

HSP: There Is No Escape from the Terrors Of the Mind(2013)

There is no escape… From one side of the globe to the other, there is no escaping the faces, the visions, the ever-watchful camera. There is no escaping the mask, there is no escaping the resonating echoes of images and sounds that cross each other over time. There is no escaping the cinema. There is no escaping the terrors of the mind. “A mysterious loner, perhaps a poet, journeys through a series of uncanny surrealistic landscapes with an unclear purpose. His adventure is divided into three sections. The main theme of this experiment is to compare the eerier qualities of different landscapes and interpose the characters within them, elaborating the project’s ongoing preoccupation with extracting sinister moods from ordinary settings. In a way, these can be seen as experimental horror films in which an atmosphere of dread is evoked and sustained without the expected narrative trappings.”.

Bipedality(2010)

1h 7min | Drama
2.5/5 (with 1 vote)

A relationship between a man and a woman discloses during the course of the film.

Closure of Catharsis(2011)

1h 40min | Mystery
2.5/5 (with 1 vote)

A man (James Devereaux) sits on a park bench talking to the camera, trying to weave together a thought that won’t cohere while commenting on passers-by, his ‘guests’… Mysterious images intervene, overturning the serenity of the park-bench monologue. Rouzbeh Rashidi’s feature proves as engaging as it is elusive.

Directed by Rouzbeh Rashidi - With James Devereux

Only Human(2009)

1h 12min | Romance / Love, Drama
2.6/5 (with 2 votes)

A tale of people unfolds under the night sky. These doomed couples and lost individuals begin journeys and attempt to find resolution in their lives. Love is observed from a distance, sadness is in the air. With little sympathy for the loss and destruction caused to the characters, the stories progress and become neatly woven into a minimalistic portrayal of modern life.

Directed by Rouzbeh Rashidi

Mutual Admiration Society(2014)

1h 2min | Crime

Surreal and mysterious, in equal parts absurd and intense, Mutual Admiration Society is part of the noted multi-film collaboration between actor James Devereaux and experimental filmmaker Rouzbeh Rashidi. Based entirely around a silent, tour-de-force one-man performance by Devereaux as a man who appears to be haunting and threatening himself, Mutual Admiration Society uses startling visual techniques and editing rhythms to create a claustrophobic hall of mirrors with Devereaux’s tormented protagonist at its centre.
