In Plain Sight
In Plain Sight / Korea Premier / France / 10:31
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 try to define their limits of dance. They interact with their surroundings and thus become an integral part of the flow of the city. They accompany each other to find the power of collective movement. The journey is the destination.
Tanin Torabi is a multi-award-winning filmmaker and choreographer acclaimed for her innovative single-take short dance films in Tehran, described by critics as 'pushing the boundaries of screendance.' In 2021, Dance Magazine recognized her as one of the '9 Screendance Artists You Should Know.'
Throughout the past decade, Tanin has showcased her films at over 150 film festivals and academic institutions globally, while also conducting workshops at universities like The Place London, Irish World Academy of Music and Dance, Villa Arson, and ArtEZ Arnhem. She has served on jury panels for prestigious festivals such as the Cannes Dance Film Festival and Dance Camera West, to name a few. Among her recent accolades are the esteemed Cinedans Grand Jury Prize, ZED Festival’s Best Original Storytelling Prize, and the AVIFF Festival Jury Award for her 2023 film 'Until...'.
In 2024, she received a 7-month bursary from the Institut Francais to conduct choreographic research at the Cite Internationale des Arts residency in Paris. Currently, she is the artist in residence at Villa Arson Fine Art University in Nice, France, engaging in the university's pedagogic programs and offering mentorships. As a choreographer and performer, she has collaborated with numerous dance artists, most notably with NYC-based choreographer Yoshiko Chuma since 2021 in international shows. Tanin holds an MA in Contemporary Dance from the University of Limerick in Ireland and a BA in Sociology from BIHE.
