Our platform is a creative space for filmmaking and visual research, dedicated to uncovering untold histories, reimagining archives, and expanding the language of cinema. We collaborate with filmmakers, artists, and researchers to challenge dominant narratives, experiment with form, and create alternative ways of seeing.
 
Our work extends beyond filmmaking. It is an ongoing exploration of visual culture. We search for, construct, and reinterpret visual archives and films that illuminate contemporary history and culture in ways that have been overlooked, suppressed, or erased. Through documentary, fiction, and experimental film, we engage with cinema not just as a storytelling medium but as a critical tool for research, inquiry, and activism. Our approach challenges conventional historiography, offering counter-narratives that reflect the lived experiences and shifting landscapes of identity.
 
Co-founded by Amin Pakparvar and Mehraneh Salimian, this platform is a third space, one that merges production and critical thought. It is a shared ground for filmmakers and researchers committed to reimagining archives, expanding cinematic language, and creating new paths in storytelling.
