“Paravan” which is a Turkish word, stands for “folding screen”; a type of free-standing furniture which consists of several frames or panels, often connected by hinges.

 

It's originated from ancient China, and it’s often associated with romance

in Chinese literature.

 

It’s often used as to divide a room, spaces and so on.

 

The concept of  “Paravan” in the film is used as something that has made a distance between a man and a woman. A distance that is about to result in separation. A separation of love, romance, and togetherness.

 

As “Paravan” is a space-dividing object, there's always a distance between the two characters in the film, and there is a wall, like a cul-de-sac, behind them in all the scenes in the film.

 

Sounds heard in the short film “Paravan” is what walls and objects and still life have kept in themselves during the characters’ relationship. Sounds are used as a means to depict the past of the relationship which is now about to end.
