In Dreams of Silk, director Nahid Rezai returns to her high school after 25 years to explore the lives of young girls in contemporary Tehran. The girls talk about their dreams for the future. At times shockingly open, sometimes sweet, sometimes sad, this film is a candid exploration of their dreams and hopes. (2003, 43 minutes)
In Massoud Bakhshi's Tehran Has No More Pomegranates, the director uses incredible archival footage, an original visual approach and a terrific sound track to take the audience through 150 years of Teheran's history. With a postmodern approach, this documentary mixes humor and archives to present a work that is as witty and engaging as it is informative and fun. (2007, 67 minutes)
All of the screenings will be followed by a discussion with Iranian filmmaker Persheng Sadegh-Vaziri. Born and raised in Tehran, Sadegh-Vaziri has created award-winning documentaries about Iran and Iranians in America. She currently works as producer for Link Television on the “Bridge to Iran” series and teaches film studies courses at New York University.
