EXAM

The Sundance Award-Winning film is about a teenage girl who gets involved in the process of delivering a pack of cocaine to its client, and she gets stuck in a weird cycle of occurrences.

FOBOS (PHOBOS)

Employing a poetic and experimental cinematic language, ”Phobos” attempts to transcend the fear of war and destruction.

IT TURNS BLUE

The Grand Jury Award winner film at SXSW tells the story of Pari who covers up domestic violence when her brother beats up his 3 years old daughter.

Eight-year-old Rizoo lives with her mother and grandmother in Tehran. She is lively, polite and smart. But when she must take a class portrait, her world suddenly becomes very complicated. Does she wear the traditional head-scarf, which all girls over the age of nine must wear—or does she display her beautiful long locks? We witness Rizoo navigate the challenges of growing up a misfit girl in modern Iran.

FALLING UP

One night a man’s dream doesn’t proceed as he ordered. The company that produces dreams tells him that the problem is caused due to the similarity between his dream and a young girl’s dream. He has to spend a day with the woman in the company in order to solve the issue.

FEATURE DOCUMENTARY @7:45 PM 

SILENT HOUSE is the story of three generations of an Iranian family who live in a one-hundred-year-old house in Tehran. Through archival family footage woven with contemporary images, the two filmmakers, Farnaz and Mohammadreza, portray their family’s evolution across forty years. They follow each family member entangled in the tides of their country’s complicated history. With the house itself as a silent witness, the family’s story becomes a mirror for society and the family’s house a metaphor for Iran.

DECEMBER 15 @7:15PM

MARZIYEH is a recently married young woman who has grown up in a religious family with strict rules. Their time-worn and careful thoughts have always overshadowed her true self-has. On the contrary, in her married life, she has left all those restrictions behind and has an entirely different lifestyle.
