The Space Between: Journeys in Iranian Cinema
Journeys move people through space, but in Iranian cinema they often mirror personal and collective transformations. Roads, streets, and dead ends mark spaces where the personal and political converge. Whether on foot or in a car, the Iranian films in this series follow journeys where the pursuit of love, friendship, and freedom becomes an act of resistance.
Join us as we explore these important films in our new series with special introductions and Q&As with curator, Gerard Amsellem, local teacher, artist, and filmmaker from New Wave Productions along with Golbarg Rekabtalaei, Associate Professor at Seton Hall University.
Tickets are $20 ($16 for Montclair Film Members).
