Disruption: Contemporary Shorts by Iranian Women Filmmakers

Mardi 1er octobre à 20H00 : La séance sera animée par la réalisatrice, artiste et curatrice iranienne Mania Akbari et suivie d'une discussion en anglais avec des cinéastes (en visioconférence). 

À noter: les sous-titres des films seront proposés en langue anglaise.

This shorts programme introduces a curated selection of fictional films crafted by Iranian women, predominantly based within Iran. Set against the backdrop of Iran's deeply patriarchal society, these films serve as a much-needed disruption. At the heart of this programme, two interwoven themes emerge: the experiences of women and children.

From the delicate and fragmented recollections of childhood memories to depictions of women within diverse power dynamics, this collection beckons viewers to engage with emotions often overlooked in the tapestry of everyday life. Through the lenses of these filmmakers, the inner workings of a system that fosters vulnerability in the lives of children and women are laid bare.

Curated by Pegah Pasalar, Sadaf Sadri and Cryptofiction, an international art platform founded by Akbari.
Films in Farsi with English subtitles.

Hosted by Iranian filmmaker, artist, and curator Mania Akbari. Post-screening Q&A via Zoom with filmmakers.

A screening in collaboration with the NGO Artistic Freedom Initiative.
