Woman, Life, Freedom: Films of Iran at Kirkland Library
Join Peyvand in partnership with the King County Library System each Tuesday in November to celebrate the rich tradition of Iranian cinema, at the Kirkland Library.
To mark the one-year anniversary of Mahsa Amini’s death and the Woman, Life, Freedom movement in Iran, we will feature a spectrum of women's voices from top directors. Shannon Ghanbari of the Iran Film Initiative at Peyvand will introduce the films.
November 14: Inversion وارونگی
About the film: Tehran's air pollution has reached maximum levels because of thermal inversion. Unmarried 30-something Niloofar lives with her aged mother, and stays busy with her alterations shop. When doctors insist that her mother must leave smoggy Tehran for her respiratory health, Niloofar’s brother and family elders decide that she must also move away to accompany her mother. Now Niloofar is torn between family loyalty and living her own life. As the youngest she has always obeyed their orders. Can she stand up for herself this time?
Reasonable accommodation for people with disabilities is available by request. Email access@kcls.org at least seven days before the event. Automated closed captioning is always available for online events.
