The program [Un]Broadcasted Event themetizes the 1979 Revolution in Iran as a multitude of complex eruptions of media recording, narration and later manipulation. This mediated reality is echoed in the three artistic positions represented in this program, each an exploration of how the year 1979 passed through Iranian society like a storm, forever changing its relationship with moving images. In this 69 minute journey we will look at a monumental film essay familiar to Berlin audiences, Mohammad Reza Farzad’s Blames and Flames, a video piece by Pouya Shahrabi called Multitude and finally, a rarely shown documentary film by Susan Bayani, Television 57.
