نظربازی

Following the Iranian revolution of 1979, it was strictly forbidden to depict a woman and a man touching on screen. Filmmakers had to find creative ways to get around this restriction. Behind Nazarbazi hides an impressive piece of archival research into post-revolution Iranian films. The fluid collage of subtle scenes and moments bear witness to the impossibility of completely erasing desire despite censorship. Long, meaningful looks; hands tightly holding the same object without touching; a door closing on a couple; a light turning off...this collection of images is an ode to freedom, love, and the emancipatory power of cinema.
