Dear tree, please don't spill on our grave tells a short story about the history of humankind. In an attempt to make sense of it all, the film origins from a somewhat dry research to 'how did we get here?' and 'what is that 'here' anyway?'. Of course this leads to nothing but more questions. A clunky film about adventurous Anna, who lives in a toilet, and who accidentally throws herself in a surprise party.

A human flock flows through wavy fields until an unenlightened hunter crosses its path. Environmental dance film or audiovisual meditation on Fibonacci numbers patterned in the landscape, herd behaviour, film structure and music.
Fibonacci is a series of numbers that form patterns, related to the golden ratio.

In plain sight is the result of months of exploring urban movements on a boulevard in Tehran, Iran. In a society where many questions and restrictions exist around the concept of ‘movement’, three performers interact with their surroundings and thus become an integral part of the flow of the city. Tanin Torabi won in 2019 the Cinedans International Student Competition with her film The Dérive.
