BARAN - a report from the workshop Majid Majidi and Ahman Pejman
The director Majid Majidi belongs to the most outstanding representatives
of the new Iranian film. Having started out as an actor (for example
for Mohsen Makhmalbaf) Majidi changed to direction at the end of the
eighties, making movies such as Pedar (The Father, 1995), Bacheha-Ye
aseman (The Children The Heaven, 1997), Rang-ekhoda (The Color of
Paradise, 1999) and Baran (Rain, 2001). The musician Ahman Pejman
started composing for film in the seventies, and lately made the music
for films such as Honarpisheh (The Actor, director: Mohsen Makhmalbaf,
1993), Zinat (Director: Ebrahim Mokhtari, 1994). Rusari Abi (The Blue-Veiled,
director: Rakhshan Bani Etemad, 1995) and Booye kafoor, atre yas (Fragrance
of Jasmine, director: Bahman Farmanara, 2000). For their collaboration
on Baran Majidi and Pejman received the prizes for best direction
and best music at the 19. Fajr International Film Festival. Baran
tells a Iranian-Afghan love story, the background being the tragic
situation in Afghanistan and of the Afghan refugees in Iran.
Majidi and Pejman will be explaining the audio-visual concept of Baran
using excerpts from the film as examples. An interesting aspect of
their work is the combination of musical traditions with various forms
of sound design, as typically used in recent Iranian film productions.
Dorothée Kreutzer, film critic and orientalist will present the talk.

Workshop Berlin - a report of the creative dialogue between director,
composers and sound designers
The new Berlin Symphony, a remake of Ruttmann's classic from
1927, had its highly spoken of première on April 10 of this year in
the Berlin State Opera. By now the film is shown in many cinemas in
the bigger cities. Overcoming the traditional division of film and
music, the new Berlin Symphony is a masterpiece in its totality. Not
only the formal quality of the production and its symphonic structure
but also the original audio-visual interpretation of Berlin as a urban
phenomenon in 2001/2002 contribute to the film's overall excellence.
