“Iranian filmmakers- despite heavy restrictions – have over the years provided an intriguing and provocative look at Iran’s dynamic social, religious, and political culture.”
That from fellow FPA blogger Sahar Zubairy who takes a look at two new films that define the new Iranian cinema.
“Kick in Iran” is a documentary about Sara Khoshjamal-Fekri, the first female athlete from Iran to ever qualify for the 2008 Olympic Games.
“Women Without Men” is based on a magic-realist novel written by Iranian author Shahrnush Parsipur.
