Set in south-western Iran, in the province of Khuzestan, where the stories of oil and war originate, Meezan is a documentary encounter in three parts. Rejecting a historicizing or theoretical gaze, Meezan is attentive to the immediacy and embodied experience of those most intimately connected to these embattled landscapes.

In the mountains of Western Iran, the land of Bakhtiaris, the long cultural tradition of natural yarn dyeing and carpet weaving is still practiced by some people of this region. A meditative look at how the old world's crafts and artistry contrast with the mass production which dominates much of today's global village.

Indian Summer. Canned food, cigarettes, a canoe and the river carrying Max and Ariane away. Escaped from the city, they really know nothing about each other, but share a project. It may be a good time to embark on something new.

This film, produced by the Canadian Centre for Architecture, explores the controversial story of the planning and politics of a series of overpasses on the parkways of Long Island, commissioned in the 1920s and 1930s by the influential American public administrator Robert Moses. The story suggests that these bridges were designed to prevent the passage of buses, thereby only allowing people who could afford to own a car to access Long Island’s leisure spaces. The film investigates the story and the ongoing academic debate that it spurred through interviews with four scholars who in the 1980s and 1990s discussed interpretations of the design. The questions that the film raises engage with issues of secrecy and control, the morals of power and the effects of technology.
