About This Movie

Maintenant et ici is a deeply personal dive into the life of Davoud Ghanbariha, a Franco-Iranian painter. The film captures this unique intersection of art and identity, floating between the memories of his exile and the vibrant hues of his paintings. The pacing feels almost meditative, allowing you to linger on the emotional weight of his experiences. The dialogue is intimate; it’s like sitting with him over tea, sharing thoughts on what art can convey. There's this rawness to the storytelling, a sense of fragility that resonates throughout. The visuals are striking, yet they're not flashy—they serve the narrative beautifully. It's this blend of memory and creation that makes it stand out, really.
