RESUMÉ :

A travers la récitation fragmentée du poème « Tehran Banou » de Mohammad Ali Sepanlou, la réalisatrice suit un chauffeur de taxi dans une ville la nuit. Où sommes-nous ? A Téhéran comme l’affirme la voix calme et posée du chauffeur de taxi ou ailleurs? Cette vidéo questionne le rapport entre le son et l’image, le champ et le hors-champ.

SYNOPSIS
This movie encompasses the look of a taxi of a taxi driver in the city of Teheran. From land to sky, we pass by the streets and the residents ; we discover a surreal and poetic Teheran, described by an man who crosses this city by thought.
This movie questions the imagination of words, the link between sound and picture, between the visible and invisible. What do we take away from what’s visible on screen ? What do we really see ?
The universe of sound takes the spectators away to a world that is only fiction when pictures shows otherwise.
Based on the narration « Teheran Banou » - Manzoomé Tehran, from Mohammad Ali Sepanlou - the words of this man takes away, suggests, describes and gives life to a Teheran invisible on the screen.



« Lady Teheran » was showcased to the Iranian Festival in Paris in July 2013 and to the Iranian Festival Of San Francisco in September 2013.
