A Hundred-year Journey | BBC

Title Sequence for BBC Persian’s Mini-Series

Step into a luminous visual odyssey that bridges a century of Iran’s modernist art movement, where tradition and innovation collide in a dance of light, shadow, and symbolism. Inspired by the Persian proverb "A hundred-year journey gone at a night" ( یک شبه ره صد ساله رفتن), this title sequence unfolds like a celestial tapestry, tracing the meteoric rise of Iran’s cultural pioneers—the "shining stars" who defied time to illuminate a revolution in visual arts, music, literature, cinema , and architecture.

Witness geometric patterns morph into avant-garde masterpieces, calligraphy dissolve into abstract forms, and constellations of Iran’s iconic artists emerge as guiding lights across a dynamic, ever-evolving landscape. Here, typography itself becomes a living artefact of time—a visual metaphor for how ideas, like seasons, grow, decay, and rebirth across decades.
