Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival brings you "Meet the Filmmakers" episode “ Duality ”
Interview with director Abbas Nezamdoost and the VFX artist Ali Roozkhash, interviewer Massimo Iannetti.
Step into the discussion and discover the answers to interesting questions.
- How does a background in photography shape a director’s visual storytelling?
- How can a filming location be used to its full potential and woven meaningfully into the story?
Intrested, intriqued? Go on, get the answers.
“Duality” follows three intertwined lives in Tehran, blending everyday moments with a dreamlike sense of time and memory. On a single spring day, Nima and Tara drift apart and reconnect, while Aban experiences the tremors of first love.
Through shifting colours and black-and-white imagery, the film blurs reality and imagination. Director Abbas Nezamdoost creates a visually daring work that explores longing, loss, and the echoes we leave behind. Abbas Nezamdoost is known for Gorg Bazi (2018) and Ta Baraneh Baadi (2012).

Tallinna Pimedate Ööde Filmifestival esitleb “Meet the Filmmakers” osa “Duality”
Režissöör Abbas Nezamdoost ja VFX-kunstnik Ali Roozkhash, intervjueerija Massimo Iannetti.
Astu vestlusesse ja avasta vastused põnevatele küsimustele:
- Kuidas kujundab fotograafiataust režissööri visuaalset jutustamist?
- Kuidas kasutada võttepaika selle täies potentsiaalis ja siduda see tähenduslikult looga?
Huvitav? Intrigeeriv? Vaata – vastused on käeulatuses.
“Duality” jälgib kolme omavahel seotud elu Teheranis, põimides argised hetked unenäolise aja- ja mälutunnetusega. Ühe kevadise päeva jooksul triivivad Nima ja Tara teineteisest eemale ja taas kokku, samal ajal kui Aban kogeb esimest armumisevärinat.
Muutuvate värvide ja mõjuva mustvalge pildikeele kaudu hägustab film reaalsuse ja kujutluse piiri. Abbas Nezamdoost loob visuaalselt julge teose igatsusest, kaotusest ja jälgedest, mis meist maha jäävad. Ta on tuntud ka filmide “Gorg Bazi” (2018) ja “Ta Baraneh Baadi” (2012) poolest.
