CARAVAN
Feature Film — In Development
Planned Production: 2028
Written & Directed by Mobarez Javanmard
Logline
After fifteen years of silence, a 55-year-old janitor living in a parked caravan returns to painting, only to discover that the art market welcomes her work once the human body disappears from it. Over forty days, she must decide how much of her intensity she can afford to keep.
Overview
Caravan is a restrained feature narrative centered on artistic endurance within economic constraint.
The film follows forty days in the life of Mara Cole, who lives in a stationary caravan at the edge of the city. As she cautiously resumes painting, human figures reappear in her forest landscapes — and then gradually fade. A gallery responds positively to her “cleaner” works, free of bodies. Financial pressure and insomnia narrow her choices.
The film observes not a dramatic fall or triumphant return, but a process of calibration.
Thematic Focus
Caravan examines how artistic work is shaped — subtly and incrementally — by systems that reward what is more palatable, more neutral, and easier to consume.
The disappearance of the figure is not framed as censorship. It is framed as adjustment.
The film asks: What remains when intensity is reduced but not extinguished?
Form & Approach
The narrative unfolds through controlled pacing and behavioral detail rather than overt dramatic escalation. There is no cathartic resolution. Survival is presented not as victory, but as measured continuation.
