Dariush Mehrjui, the director, will be present for a post-movie discussion.
Master Iranian filmmaker Dariush Mehrjui, whose 1969 feature The Cow marked a turning point in Iranian cinema and whose 1990 movie Hamoun was once voted the best Iranian film ever made, will appear in person to introduce his latest film, Santouri the Music Man (currently banned in Iran), and answer audience questions after the screening. Santouri follows a popular singer-songwriter and player of the santoor (an ancient stringed instrument) as he spirals into heroin addiction and destroys his life and career. “Suggests that Iran's current cultural repression and rampant drug addiction are no mere coincidence.” –Variety. Cleveland theatrical premiere. (Iran, 2007, color, subtitles, 35mm, 106 min.)
