“Sell your cleverness and buy
Bewilderment.
Cleverness is mere opinion,
Bewilderment is intuition.”
Rumi.
I made a short film, it was screened at Screen on the Green in Islington. One was a poem film, from which the above still comes, titled “Sleepwalk“. Making the soundscape, which in itself is a piece, I mined my own recordings. A great precursor to these, my ‘back to Iran’ days. My uncle Colin said after the screening, however, that is was ‘a sad film to come from such a bubbly person’. We all have our wells. Mine is filled with sounds and images of Iran, see Kiarostami’s ‘Five’ for the perfect audio soundtrack of a Tehrani childhood.
Now I feel I need to make another one.
