Chess of the Wind : Mohamed Reza Aslani
Chess of the Wind
Shatranj-e baad
- Mohammad Reza Aslani, Iran 1976 ⁄ Fakhri Khorvash, Mohamad Ali Keshavarz, Akbar Zanjanpour ⁄ color ⁄ 99' ⁄ ST - OND: EN
Set in the Qajar era, the film tells the story of power struggles within a wealthy household after the death of the family matriarch. The film's slow-paced, poetic storytelling and carefully composed cinematography create a haunting atmosphere. Originally screened in 1976, it was quickly banned after the Iranian Revolution and remained unseen for decades. However, in 2020, a restored version was shown at the Cannes Film Festival, receiving international acclaim.
In presence of Mohammad Reza Aslani, Gawan Fagard and Gita Aslani Shahrestani.

Skin of Your Eye
- Arthur Cantrill, Corinne Cantrill, Australia 1973 ⁄ color ⁄ 116' ⁄ V: EN ⁄ ST - OND: —
Skin of Your Eye is a major cinematic essay about the flow of time, the filmic process, and the Melbourne counter-culture scene in the early 1970s. The film was projected in various formats over the years and presented at EXPRMNTL 5 in Knokke, Belgium (1974). We show the single-screen version on the print preserved at the Royal Belgian Film Archive. Arthur and Corinne Cantrill described how each sequence of Skin of Your Eye is concerned with a particular aspect of the process: “the relationship of projector, screen, camera, the film strip of the positive or negative, the coloured gelatin, the film frame, the projector gate, the projector lens, the projected image of the screen and the blackness around… colour and lack of colour, black-and-white, negative and positive, over and underexposure.”
