Toulanitarin safar-e donya
Mohammad Moghadam (Mohammad Reza Karimi Saremi)
Iran, 2000, Beta SP, 10'15''

A drop of morning dew wakes up the small caterpillar, which stretches and sets off. As it crawls, it passes many things of different colours and shapes, and it is only when we look at the caterpillar and its route from above that we realise it has passed hedgehogs and a colourful jug, and has gone over a ball and through samples of a large piece of cloth. At the end of its long way it turns into a chrysalis. When morning comes, it becomes a beautiful butterfly and flies over the garden where it crawled as a small caterpillar.

Iran, 1987, Beta SP, 16'

It is wintertime and a small bird is shivering with cold outside. Flying up and down from one roof to another and into apartments, he observes birds pecking at food, resting and singing free of all care. This bird would like a warm home too! He willingly gets caught and at first he really enjoys being in his cage. He is provided with food, a swing and a cap on top of that. But then he notices birds flying in the sky and becomes sadder and sadder every day. His masters throw it out of the house and as he wakes up into the spring, he spreads his wings and flies into the clouds.
