The Third Line’s first Iranian Film Series presents an introduction to contemporary Iranian cinema. Noted for striking combinations of poetry and realism, these films play between the boundary of fiction and reality, while at the same time employing a distinctively Iranian cinematic language. This series draws its title - Shahre Farang – from the name of unique version of traveling picture boxes that were common across the Middle East in the early 1900s. All films are in Farsi or Kurdish with English subtitles. Film Series Coordinator Mishaal Al Gergawi will introduce each film.
