In 1979, Tehran didn't vanish from maps—it vanished from memory.
This AI-powered reconstruction takes you inside the Tehran that existed before the Islamic Revolution. A cosmopolitan capital of nearly 3 million people. Tree-lined Valiasr Avenue with sidewalk cafes. Women and men studying together at Tehran University. The Hilton standing against the Alborz Mountains. Ski resorts an hour north. International films at Cinema Rex.
We don't take sides. We don't romanticize the Shah or condemn the revolution. We simply show what was there—the architecture, the daily life, the choices people had—and what changed when the world shifted in 1979.
Every image in this film is generated using historical photographs, archival research, and AI reconstruction technology. The goal: to preserve visual memory of a Tehran that exists now only in photographs and stories that sound impossible to those who never saw it.
