Entering its third year, the Persian International Film Festival is returning to Sydney, with a selection of films from Iran and Afghanistan and the global Persian community. On offer this year is a feast of docos, shorts and features that pull back the curtain on an often misunderstood and highly complex part of the world – even more impressive for being made despite censorship. Highlights this year include Manuscripts Don’t Burn, the new film from acclaimed Iranian filmmaker Mohammad Rasoulof, who defied the twenty-year work ban placed on him by his own country to craft this politically charged murder thriller based on real events; Parviz Shahbazi’s Trapped, which sees a young female medical student take a stand against corruption in order to free her flatmate; and Mohsen Gharaei and Afshin Hashemi’s spirited road adventure Don’t Be Tired! For your chance to win the double pass, simply check out the full line-up of films, and let us know which flick you would use the tickets for. Email filmink@filmink.com.au with your answer. The Persian International Film Festival runs from September 11-14 at The Chauvel Cinema in Sydney. For more information, head here. Closing date: September 3, 2014 |
