SUMMARY:Docunight
DESCRIPTION:Documentary Night\, Virtual Discussion Meeting\nPersian Cultural Center presents:\nVirtual Discussion Meeting on “Nesa – نسا ” & “Moving Up – کمی بالاتر ” documentaries\nWednesday May 20\, 2020 at 8:00 PM\nAdmission is free.

But\, as a young woman from Kermanshah\, she is expected to marry one of the many suitors who are willing to be her husband. With a family that is desperate for her to capitulate and an oppressive brother who is prone to violence\, Nesa’s life is a struggle. Shot in a documentary style Nesa is a powerful emotional journey. \nYou can watch this documentary on IMVBOX.COM for free. \n  \n\n  \nMoving Up – کمی بالاتر\nDirected by: Loghman Khaledi\n2011 / 59 minutes\nPersian with English subtitle\n\nShahriyar is a both a garbage collector and an unpublished novelist who has a passion for literature and poetry. Shahriyar finds it impossible to conform to society’s expectations; rather\, he aspires to be Jack London or Dostoevsky. He writes imaginative stories to escape from his dull\, prosaic\nlife in Kermanshah\, a city in Iran’s Kurdistan region. But his wife\, his family\, his neighborhood and all the people around him constantly conspire to hold him back from Moving Up. ‘Moving Up’ is a powerful\, inspiring and deeply affecting story of an outsider\, who wants to be an artist\, seemingly impossible in the provincial town of Kermanshah. Loghman Khaledi builds sympathetic portraits of both his protagonist and his family members.\n\nYou can watch this documentary on IMVBOX.COM for free.\n

DESCRIPTION:Docunight with collaboration of Persian Cultural Center present: \nExilic Trilogy (Directed by: Arsalan Baraheni) \n2015 / 74 minutes\, Persian with English subtitles \nWednesday July 11th\, 2018 at 7:00 PM in IAC\nTickets: $10 early bird\, $15 at door \nBuy tickets: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/docunight-47-san-diego-exilic-trilogy-tickets-47315329424 \nExilic Trilogy consists of three arthouse docudrama films from Arsalan Baraheni\, the exiled Iranian-Canadian filmmaker based in Toronto. The films present a well known musician (Soleyman Vaseghi\, a.k.a. Soli)\, a painter (Gholamhossein Nami) and a poet (Reza Baraheni). The films are biographical\, poetic and musical\, colliding with social\, political and philosophical manifestations. \nThe first film is called “Light and Sound”\, starring Soleyman Vaseghi\, a well known Iranian musician who was forced to leave Iran after the 1979 revolution when music got banned by the regime. The film is about the light within the mind of the artist and the sound which he produces through his music in exile. \nThe second film is called “Frame & Wall”\, starring Master Gholamhossein Nami who is known as one of the most important Iranian painters and visual artists. He simply had no political reasons to leave Iran but left for social purposes and ended up in Canada. The film is a visual art poetry which deals with the frames and the walls of this outstanding Iranian painter. \nThe third film is called “Alchemy & Dust”\, starring Reza Baraheni\, known as one of the greatest Iranian poets. He was forced to leave Iran about 20 years ago when he was blacklisted after signing a letter regarding the removal of censorship in Iran. This poetic docudrama is shot by Baraheni’s son\, who suffered exile with him. The film is about the colliding of a poet and a filmmaker\, a father and a son\, the poetry and the camera.

SUMMARY:Docunight #42 [San Diego]: Iran's Arrow
DESCRIPTION:IRAN’S ARROW\nThe Rise and Fall of Paykan \nDirected by: Shahin Armin\, Sohrab Daryabandari\n2016 / 78 min\nPersian with English subtitles \nOn the spring of 1967\, when the first Paykan rolled off the assembly line on an outskirt of Tehran\, no one thought this car would be produced for 38 years\, or that it could have such an impact on a whole nation. \nIran’s Arrow features numerous talking heads who share a common interest for the country’s emblematic car\, ranging from historical to sociological analyses\, from technical to artistic expertise and from sheer passion to a complicated love-hate relationship. The film uses rare archival footage\, as well as a large collection of vintage photos and imagery\, to document thehistory of Paykan\, the way it’s been perceived throughout the years\, and its links with Iran’s major historical and sociological landmarks\, such as the White Revolution (1963)\, the industrialization\, the rise of the middle class\, the Islamic Revolution (1979)\, the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988)\, and social economic mutations of the post-war era. \nOlder Paykan owners – including official and unofficial taxi drivers- testify of the fundamental role it played and still plays in their everyday life\, as a means of transport\, a source of income\, and sometimes an achievement in itself. A number of Paykan enthusiasts\, most of them from the younger generation\, are being interviewed about their very special relationship with the car they grew up with. The film also documents the decline of the Paykan\, while showing how it is still very much alive in the culture and memory of the country. Interviews are also conducted with artists who use Paykan as a medium or the subject of their art. \nShahin Armin is an automotive design-engineer and a lifelong Paykan expert. Born in Tehran and a car enthusiast before he could even talk or walk\, he moved to the US in his twenties and worked in the US car industry for 13 years (Chrysler\, Michigan and Honda America\, Ohio).\nAlthough he worked on the design of modern and sophisticated cars\, he could never get the Paykan out of his head. In 2009 he started thePaykanHunter.com blog\, thus initiating an extensive research about Iran’s emblematic car. Upon returning to Tehran in 2012\, he co-curated two Paykan themed art exhibitions exhibiting work from prominent Iranian artists.\nIran’s Arrow is a result of his many years of extensive research into the history of this car\, his experiences interacting with his fellow Paykan enthusiasts\, and his comprehensive understanding of the car’s impact on Iranian society. \nSohrab Daryabandari is a Tehran based professional photographer and filmmaker whose 25 year-long career has been stretching between almost all areas of expertise in analog and digital photography. His work has ranged from journalistic\, commercial\, and artistic to architectural and industrial photography\, which later lead him to editing as well as industrial\, artistic and documentary filmmaking.\nHis photographic work\, which was regularly exhibited and published in Iran and Europe\, has later been influencing his filmmaking\, notably in Dammam (Iran\, 2003) and Sharveh (Iran\, 2005)\, his two documentaries on ethnic Iranian music.\nIran’s Arrow owes him its remarkable photography\, the minute treatment of archive material\, and its overall filmmaking and editing quality\, considering the conditions of production and the limited resources.
