Festival Highlights

Limited Access Forum, like the previous editions which featured programs like Wandering Islands and Archipelago, is a combination of newly discovered pieces with a glimpse of the archive at Parking video library.

The International program at limited access 7 is curated by Rambod Vala, Leonie Roessler, Pooya Abbasian, Dafne Narvaez Berlfein & Magdalena Ziolkowska along with Curators Amirali Ghasemi, Helia Hamedani which bring a variety of emergent and returning subjects to debate in Spring Tehran this year, to mention a few the city and the politics, everyday life, Video-Essay, Screen as a theme in video, and special possibilities of sound.

The program will run at three venues of the festival at Aaran Gallery & Rooberoo Mansion, while Aaran projects host a photographic presentation of the artists who push the boundaries of their practice examining new territories, toward time-based media and sculpture.

New Media Projects will present 2 programs curated from Parking video library’s archive: Remote Homecoming, chapter 2 and Re-visit.

In a parallel program, Pejman foundation screens Shattered frames curated by Sohrab Kashani. The program was initially premiered as part of The Iranian Film and Video Festival held during March 2016 in Pittsburgh and coming to Tehran for the first time.

As a tradition of the festival, New Media Society has organized workshops, panels, and talks in the course of the festival. Finally, on Friday, April 14th, Limited Access 7 ends its journey in 2017 with closing events featuring sound & audiovisual performances at Rooberoo Mansion.
