![]() The destination of the truck is a small village in the north of Iran and this is when everything begins. Consequently, he runs away for his life and hides in the back of a truck. Bashu is the name of a southern boy who loses his family and his house. The movie takes place during the war of Iran-Iraq when the southern part of Iran became a battlefield and everything was turning into ashes. According to the credits, It was the film’s ability to promote social commentary in a subversive government that made it noteworthy for all times. Bashu, the Little StrangerĪ survey from 150 Iranian critics and professionals showed in the best Persian movie magazine, World of Picture, Bashu was voted as “The Best Iranian Film of All Time”. Read more below to get started with the first 11 Iranian films out of 33 that you conspicuously should consider watching. ![]() ![]() If you have a taste for deep dives into the cinematic and artistic history of one of the Middle East’s most vibrantly creative atmospheres, you will enjoy this three-part journey. Or the critically acclaimed “Children of Heaven” by Majid Majidi. Some of the names might be familiar, like internationally-recognized Asghar Farhadi, with his 2011 film “A Separation”, earning the Best Foreign Film award at 83rd Academy Awards ceremony. You might immensely know Iran, but how well are you familiar with Iran’s epic film industry? We have curated for you, a list of some of the best, if not literally the best, feature films that were introduced to the whole world within the last 50 years. Turtles Can Fly (Bahman Gobadi, 2004) 15. The Day I Became a Woman (Marzieh Meshkini, 2000) 13. The Color of Paradise (Majid Majidi, 1999) 12. Taste of Cherry (Abbas Kiarostami, 1997) 10.

This is a list of the 15 essential Iranian films of all time. It remains a true testament to the resilience and industrious nature of the Iranian people and serves as a veracious voice through which Iran can tells its varied and compelling stories. As a result Iranian national cinema has become an engaging, chaotic, soulful and poignant cinema. Since then, cinema has served as an ambassador for Iran, the heart and soul of a country marred by years of instability. Starting with the opening of the first film school in 1925, an Iranian national cinema quickly began to develop. However, it would be another 25 years before Iran would develop its own national cinema, a cinema of morality, humanity, abandon and integrity. Film was less than ten years old at the time and many Iranians flocked to cinemas to watch these primitive masterpieces. The history of film as an art form in Iran dates back to the pioneering days of cinema when the first movie theatre opened in Tehran in 1904. Iranian Cinema is a rich and diverse cinema that has been in existence since the 1930s amidst oppressive regimes, censorship and even in the face of exile. ![]() ![]() In the seventeenth century, this mourning tradition was perpetuated in a secular context. The image is not simply symbolic the totality of its bleakness, contained only by the edges of the page, has a positively traumatic effect, albeit a miniaturised one. While concentrating the painter’s infinite anguish at the suffering of Christ into a moment of unyielding blackness, the image also serves as a trigger for the viewer. Each page is overlaid with an evenly spread web of red beads, depicting the drops of blood that fell from his wounds. For instance, a book of devotions in the British Library from around 1500 includes several hand-painted black pages, suggesting the utterly desolate state of the world following the crucifixion and death of Christ. As a memorial, its black page stands at the tail end of a tradition of “mourning pages”, which were occasionally included in books from the fifteenth century onwards as signs of abject grief. In fact, Tristram Shandy represents something of a turning point in the history of Malevich’s precursors. And in 1759, Laurence Sterne inserted an entirely black page into his rambling novel The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman as a self-consciously exaggerated acknowledgement of the death of the parson Yorick. Some of these precedents are reasonably well known - for instance, the astrologer-physician Robert Fludd used a black square to represent the universe before the world was created, in his 1617 Utriusque Cosmi (or History of Two Worlds). ![]() It was the “final” work of art but it was also an iconic and magical object, intended to propel viewers beyond themselves, and beyond all difference in the world, into a state of undifferentiated non-objectivity. Black Square was a sign that this philosophical task had been accomplished. Eventually even the convention of art could be dispensed with: creative consciousness would stand free - immediately, or unmediated. Malevich took this process a step further by claiming that not only should “pure art” be free of any dependence on subject matter for its expressive effect, but that creativity no longer needed art through which to manifest. Following centuries of naturalistic representation, during which the visual arts had revolved around their subject matter, artists now became interested in the language of art itself, eventually reducing it to its bare essentials - colours and forms - at the expense of subject matter. It consummated a process that was started by the Impressionists in the 1870s - the dismantling of art’s visual language into its component parts. On the other hand, Black Square seemed to bring the history of art to a conclusive end. Hence his name for the style: Suprematism. As an unremitting expanse of the darkest colour, it offered the maximum possible visual experience there was no work of art that was not somehow implicitly present in it. On the one hand, Malevich considered the picture to be the ultimate work, taking the practice of art as far as it could possibly go. Kasimir Malevich’s 1915 Black Square is surely one of the most extraordinary paintings ever produced. ![]() Tape removed! Quite pleased with the results. I’ve got tons of this stuff sitting around. The paint used here is Rustoleum hammered silver. This produced a fairly clean edge, and any slight misalignments were fixed with a bit of weathering later. I found the fastest method was to wrap the wood areas in tape and then trace along the edge of the filigree with an exact blade. Speaking of painting, the masking on this thing took forever. These were laser cut from some 2mm craft foam so they could be easily glued onto the compound curved areas of the bow after painting. There’s little Nightingale emblems that fit into the open wood areas on the front and rear near the grip. The cavity in the buttress was done with a set of hand files after the clay had cured. This is a rough sculpt, which I cleaned up later by sanding the cured surface.Īfter one half cured, I repeated the process to the second limb. Some time with the Apoxie later, here’s one limb detail section nearly complete. I have a bunch of Smooth-on’s Free Form Air, which I used as a sort of sub-structure to fill in the larger voids. I was planning on sculpting all the shapes with Apoxie Sulpt but a chunk this big would have been heavy and expensive in material costs. This was mostly done with a few patterns trimmed out of the printed blueprints and a few curves done by eye to blend those shapes together.Īt the base of the limbs there’s a large amount of detail and raised metal parts. I traced the pattern on the bow onto the limbs so I had an idea of where to sculpt the filigree. There’s a recessed hole at the front to hide the bow limb mounting screws.Įach limb was secured to the handle with a 3″ long wood screw and a lot of wood glue. Once assembled these parts were superglued together. I trimmed the pipe ends off at an angle first, then drilled holes in the MDF at a matching angle on my drill press. The grip and arrow rests were a combination of MFD and PCV pipe. ![]() By mixing them all together I had juuuust enough to coat the bow limbs. I had three cans of various dark colors that each had just a few ounces left at the bottom. The bow arms each were brushed with two coats of a polyurethane/stain mix. This was about 6 hours of work to get to this point. Another benefit of this wood was the weight a sanded piece weighed under half a pound.īoth limbs sanded and shaped. Here’s a contrast of a finished bow limb next to the raw cut piece off the bandsaw. Thankfully the whitewood is little denser than urethane foam, so this work went quickly if a bit messily. There was a lot of shaping after this, mostly done with a heavy rasp and a heavy tooth grinding drum. To expedite tracing, I cut out one half of the bow from my printed blueprints and used primer to mark an outline. I clamped two halves together and let them cure overnight. These were chunks of a 1×12 I had sitting around from some shelves. I started off with some very light whitewood. I haven’t ever made a bow before, and after scrolling through the wiki a bit I decided that the Nightingale Bow had the perfect combination of aesthetic qualities and construction materials for what I wanted.īlueprints were done in Adobe Illustrator. There’s no shortage of cool things to make from Skyrim, but I had only had three days to devote to the project and I wanted to use as many existing materials as possible. I decided to build a weapon as a companion piece to the Ancient Nord armor built for DragonCon 2013.

![]() ![]() Check out how close the tyre is to the chainring, the ultra-short 427mm stays mean the main suspension pivot needed relocation in front of the BB. All the regular frame features found on Trek’s suspension bikes are here the Active Braking Pivot, impact protection and the Knock Block and geometry adjustment via the Mino Link. The suspension pivot has been shifted forwards to make space for the wheel and short 427mm stays. ![]() We settled on the very general statement that plus bikes are great on sub-2K hardtails for entry-level riders on technical terrain, or on short-travel duallies for riders that require bulk traction for their conditions.Ī stumpy little headtube helps the bars stay low despite the tall wheels. We ranked some of them well, while others were a little too loafy and slow, we found they suited some trails well but lacked overall performance. We’ve seen plus bikes come on strong and somewhat fade away, the high volume 3″ tyred traction hounds barged their way onto the mountain bike scene a couple of years ago to a very mixed response. It won’t take a rocket scientist to assume that 3″ tyres provide gobs of traction, however, with the addition of 130mm of rear suspension could this bike be an un-crashable, go-anywhere bike that you’re after to make light work of challenging terrain? Plus bikes, are they back, or did they never go anywhere? What would 29×3″ wheels do for you? Fun times exploring the boundaries of traction. Check that out here – Trek Stache hardtail review. We had a jolly good time riding the Kermit green Stache hardtail last year, its 3″ tyres and agile handling promoted very unorthodox riding, it’s a blast. Trek has taken their 29″+ bike – The Stache – and adapted it to a full suspension trail eating monster. Some of the more advanced moves relied on my past D&D experience, which felt like a treat at first, but it did little for the gameplay. General combat was amusing but lacked depth beyond combining different character combos. Crafters specialized in area-of-effect damage and summoning entities. Mages were glass cannons with armor piercing properties. Agile characters maneuvered the battlefield better. Each character had its own role-based traits and accompanying actions to choose from.
