Methodology: Algorithgms of varying randomness source clips from a database comprised of all the elements contained in the AYE films to randomly determine; sequence, in-points, duration, tracks, layers
and then automatically compile the results into a non-linear editing application, making four different sufi "Greetings" which together make this Overture to the three feature films.

The hand of a child reaches out to pick up a walnut from the floor. The Walnut of Knowledge

Director: Niyaz Saghari

Year: 2025

THE WALNUT OF KNOWLEDGE turns Niyaz and Jonah’s yearly travels to Iran into a layered home movie. Based in a family garden outside of Tehran, we spend time with Jonah: watching his quest finding treasures beneath an old Walnut tree. The 80 year old Walnut tree has been a witness to many events from war to revolution, generations coming and going. Jonah hears these voices whilst he tries to understand his connection to this land. We hear mother and son’s reflections on life, history and belonging.
