STILL: A Version (2026)
Film (short) by Mobarez Javanmard Director / Writer / Producer A short experimental film following a lone photographer moving through urban space as perception begins to fracture. As he documents seemingly ordinary encounters, subtle disruptions accumulate — gradually destabilizing the relationship between image, time, and presence. Working with minimal narrative structure and controlled visual form, the film operates through repetition, delay, and perceptual tension rather than explanation. The project explores the instability of observation, where reality is not broken but slowly shifts under sustained attention.
