Southern Illinois University Edwardsville is delighted to host a series of distinguished scholars of Iranian culture during the Fall 2008 and Spring 2009 semesters, in addition to screening four Iranian films. This series is intended to provide an open forum for educated discussion about Iran, a nation that is much maligned by the media.
Introduction by Farshad Aminian-Tankei (Florida Gulf Coast University)
Banned by the Islamic Republic of Iran’s legal system from attending live male sporting events, the latest film by acclaimed director Jafar Panahi, satirizes these restrictions by following the experiences of young women soccer fans who disguise themselves as men in order to sneak into Tehran’s Azadi Stadium to see an important World Cup qualifying match between Iran and Bahrain.
