Dir. Manouchehr Tayyab / 1964 / 9 mins / Iran / No Dialogue / Experimental

In this stunningly composed short film, the movement of a train and its arrival at Tehran’s central station is imaginatively edited in sync with maestro percussionist Hossein Tehrani’s mesmerising use of the zarb.

This short will screen with the feature film A Simple Event (dir. Sohrab Shahid Saless, 1973).
