The Invisible Present (tense) is an ongoing screening program selected from the Parking video Library. The program toured in United States & Brazil in 2011 and 2012 and in 2013 became of part Focus Iran Program at Rotterdam & Gothenburg film festival.
The Invisible Present Tense 2.0 is curated especially as a parallel event to Exhibition Possible worlds and tends to broaden the definition of Moving images and go beyond geographical borders. The latest edition of the program highlights the use of various disciplines video essay, documentary, experimental film, animation, performance, and photography. The participating artists—most of them younger than 35 —work within Iran and across the globe. The Invisible Present sheds light on a generation that can not be clearly defined and is often harshly targeted internationally. This era seeks to be present and exercises their significant liberty to experiment while preserving the right to be invisible to many.
