v0.7 — four years, still typing
🔗 [Link to project / teaser / newsletter]
v0.7 is the honest version. Not polished. Not neutral. Not done.
What you’ll find here: → Frames that don’t look away → Voices that don’t perform for western gaze → A city that exists whether or not the world is watching 4 Years in Tehran -v0.7- -Monia Sendicate-
This is for anyone who understands that the most important stories are the ones you live long enough to misplace the ending of.

4 years in Tehran. v0.7.
Not a documentary. Not a diary. A draft that refuses to conclude.

I’ve deleted more footage than I’ve kept. Rewritten the logline maybe twenty times. Somewhere along the way, 4 Years in Tehran stopped being a project and started being a practice. Not done
I stopped trying to "capture" Tehran a long time ago. Now I just stay long enough to be wrong about it again.

Not a finale. Not a beginning. A version . rooftop silence before dawn
For the past 4 years, I’ve been documenting, unlearning, and witnessing a city that refuses to be reduced to headlines. This is not the Tehran of airport transit lounges or 60-second news segments. This is the Tehran of alleyway negotiations, rooftop silence before dawn, and the quiet mathematics of survival and joy.
