Women Without Men - Seattle Premiere
Northwest Film Forum
Seattle, WA
(Shirin Neshat, Iran, 2009, 35mm, 95 min)
New York-based visual artist Shirin Neshat's feature film debut is an adaptation of the novel by exiled Iranian writer Shahmush Parsipur. Set in Iran during its infamous 1953 CIA-backed coup, the film follows four women from different social classes as they take refuge in a metaphorical orchard. Through striking visuals and magical realism, Neshat plumbs the depths of their personal tragedies. "Filmed in haunting muted hues, the women's individual journeys are compelling, and the broader themes of the tensions between religion and secularism and between tradition and modernity have never felt more relevant" (British Film Institute). Selected for the 2010 Sundance Film Festival and winner of the 2009 Venice Film Festival Silver Lion for Best Director.
Note: Please arrive 30 minutes prior to any screening. Seating is guaranteed up to 15 minutes prior to showtime.
