The UCLA Film & Television Archive continues its long tradition of celebrating the best cinema from Iran and the Iranian diaspora with the latest edition of its annual survey of works by Iranian filmmakers, past and present. The global pandemic disrupted film production the world over and the resilience of Iranian filmmakers around the world comes through in this year’s lineup. This year’s edition again features an inspiring mix of debuts from emerging directors and the latest work from established masters. We’re thrilled to kick off the program with Hit the Road, the remarkable debut feature from writer-director Panah Panahi, son and regular collaborator of Jafar Panahi. New feature film premieres follow on every day of the series along with special screenings of the prize-winning shorts from the latest Farhang Foundation Short Film Festival. These are just a few of the discoveries to be found among this year’s Celebration program.
All films from Iran and in Persian with English subtitles, except where noted.
Program generously funded by Farhang Foundation.
