“After Sight.” A Talk by Bahar Noorizadeh

Bahar Noorizadeh (b.1988) is a Canadian and Iranian filmmaker, writer, and platform designer. Noorizadeh is a founding member of BLOCC (Building Leverage over Creative Capitalism), a research and education platform that proposes pedagogy as strategy to alter the relationship between contemporary art and the planetary phenomena of urban renewal and social cleansing. Her current research examines the intersections of finance, contemporary art, and emerging technology, building on the notion of "weird economies" to precipitate a cross-disciplinary approach to economic futurism and post-financialization imaginaries.

Moscow International Experimental Film Festival was established in 2016 with a strong aspiration to create a new cultural institution that would provide a close look at a wide range of experimental practices with the moving image. MIEFF is an international showcase platform welcoming up-and-coming as well as experienced filmmakers from around the world and will lay the foundation for a new generation of artists in our country, facilitate interdisciplinary dialogue, and engage a wider creative young audience with this brave approach to seeing things differently in film.
