SUMMARY:MSPIFF Film Festival: In the Land of Brothers
DESCRIPTION:This film will be shown again on Thursday\, April 18 at 2:30 p.m. Almost 5 million Afghan refugees live in Iran\, and most of them are in the fraught position of being suddenly deported back to a dangerous existence. Filmmakers Raha Amirfazli and Alireza Ghasemi follow three separate tales that superbly illustrate this little-known plight of a people left almost stateless by decades of conflict. Use promo code IRCMSPIFF24 for a $3 discount.

SUMMARY:MSP International Film Festival: Terrestrial Voices
DESCRIPTION:This film will be repeated again on Thursday\, April 25 at 11:50 a.m.\nInspired by ghazal\, a style of Persian poetry\, Terrestrial Verses collects interviews with people from Iran as they navigate the perplexing bureaucracy that penetrates everyday life. From birth to death\, these citizens try desperately\, often with humor\, to endure.Directors Ali Asgari and Alireza Khatami have gathered a group of people\, of all ages\, staring at a fixed camera\, to speak their mind\, to try to reason with the unreasonable\, as they face down Iran’s bizarre and labyrinthian order–from teachers\, to religious leaders\, to government functionaries. In doing so they have captured\, in these 77 minutes\, and with humor\, anger\, and sadness\, the whole of a country in the grips of madness.Purchase tickets at: https://mspfilm.org/show/terrestrial-verses/For a $3 discount\, use promo code IRCMSPIFF24.

SUMMARY:MSP International Film Festival: Critical Zone
DESCRIPTION:This film will be shown again on Saturday\, April 20 at 9:35 p.m.\nAmir drives through Tehran at night\, dealing drugs and talking to the users\, prostitutes\, pimps\, people in pain and other troubled souls. With his dog\, he contemplates his loneliness and his\, and his country’s\, future.\nAmir faces the monotony of work like anyone else. But in this case\, he’s a nocturnal drug dealer\, embracing Tehran’s invisible and impotent counterculture as an act of resistance. Director Ali Ahmadzadeh’s powerful and controversial film was shot in secret in Tehran\, and used only amateur actors. A cry of defiance\, Critical Zone has won praise around the world\, but has also resulted in Ahmadzadeh being pressured by Iran’s Ministry of Security to withdraw the film from festivals\, and in his being denied work in Iran.\nPurchase tickets at https://mspfilm.org/show/critical-zone/.
