This feature documentary tells the epic love story of an American and an Iranian gay couple. Alex, a former Peace Corps volunteer, spent a decade living in Iran (1967 – 1977). While there, he met and fell in love with Ali, an Iranian whom Alex considers his soul mate. When the Islamic revolution erupted in the late 70’s, Alex was forced to leave Iran – and Ali. But the two men kept their relationship alive through letters, phone calls, and emails.

In May 2012, documentary filmmaker and human rights advocate Malachi Leopold followed Alex to Istanbul, where Alex and Ali reunited for the first time in 35 years, hoping to rekindle their relationship. The film follows the men as their best-laid plans are turned upside down, revealing emotionally painful twists and turns that transform their lives forever.

The Art of Living
Directed by: Pat Collins & Fergus Daly
2003 / 52 mins
English & Persian with English Subtitles
Pat Collins’ and Fergus Daly’s documentary is a unique film essay on the world-renowned Iranian filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami. The film is framed around two interviews with Kiarostami, one on the Aran Islands and the other at the Cannes Film Festival in 2002. Intercut with these are interpretations of his work by those at the forefront of film criticism in the world today: Alain Bergala, Godfrey Cheshire, Michel Ciment, Adrian Martin and Jonathan Rosenbaum and colleagues such as Marin Karmitz, Jamsheed Akrami and Mohammad Attebai.
Roads of Kiarostami
by Abbas Kiarostami
2005 / 32 mins
Persian with English Subtitles
Looking to his own art for inspiration, Abbas Kiarostami reflects on the power of landscape, which combines views of the Iranian auteur’s austere black-and-white photographs with poetic observations, engaging music and a politically provocative finale.

After an unsettling dream, though, he feels compelled to reassess his life, and finds himself fascinated by a young, comatose boy at his hospital.

About the artists:
www.shirinmajd.com
Shirin was born in Tehran, Iran. She began studying music at the age of 10. At 18 she began studying opera, going on to study in Armenia with Hasmik Hasagorchian and later attending summer courses at the prestigious Universitat Mozarteum Salzburg, studying with Professor Alessandra Althoff and Barbara Bonney.
Since moving to Australia, Shirin has continued her education in classical singing with Margaret Schindler and she graduated in Post Graduate Diploma in Music (Classical Vocal Performance) at the Queensland Conservatorium and she is currently a student in Master of Vocal Pedagogy (Singing Teacher) at the same Conservatorium. She attended the Lisa Gasteen National Opera School in 2012.
In 2011 Shirin performed excerpts from Verdi & Puccini operas at Erfurt Hall and Fux Sal, Graz in Austria and has performed in various venues throughout Iran and Austria. After moving to Australia, she joined The Queensland Choir and the Brisbane Mahler Chorus.
Shirin has performed as a soloist with different ensembles in Brisb ane and was awarded best classical singer in BEMAC planet performances in 2012 where she won a scholarship to study music business.
https://www.facebook.com/shahrokhmoshkinghalam/
Renowned director, choreographer, dancer, actor, costume designer -Shahrokh Moshkin Ghalam – has performed all over the world – dazzling fans with his artistic creations – connecting the ancient world of Persian poetry and literature to the contemporary world. Graduating from the University of Paris VIII with a bachelors degree in history of art and theatre, he achieved tenure as a pensionnaire de la Comédie-Française for six years.
Shahrokh deserted his mother land, at a very early age for France where he has resided for many years. In late 90’s he joined the prestigious French theatre director Ariane Mnouchkine’s Théâtre du Soleil where he received training on the fundamentals of theatrical dance, spanning both the East and the West, such as Indian “Kathakali”, Indonesian “Topeng”, Japanese “Kabuki”, Persian “Sufi”, and Spanish “Flamenco”. Moshkin Ghalam’s unique approach to choreography is to erase the cultural boundaries between these dance styles. He has had numerous worldwide performances, to name a few: his collaboration as main actor in productions of “Tartuffe”, “La Ville Parjure”, and “des Atrides”, his solo dance at international festivals such as Festival de Meridas, Festival d’Asturias, Festival de Chartres, and many others.
In late 90’s, he established the Nakissa Dance Company and has performed many of his creations with this company worldwide, including “A Persian Night’s Dream”, “The Route of Orient”, “Nostalgia or Ghassedak”, “The Seven Pavilion of Love” (Haft Peykar), “Omar Khayam,” “Les Danses Mythologiques,” “Mani the Bouddha of Light,” and “Rumi Le brûlé“. His recent work includes “Love Stories of Shahnameh” based on epic poems from the Ferdowsi’s “Shahnameh – Book of Kings”, “Zohreh & Manoucher” and “Aref-Nameh,” based upon the provocative early 19th century masterpieces of Persian literature by Iraj Mirza, “Scarlet Stone” by Siavash Kasrai. Shahrokh Moshkin Ghalam now resides in Northern California, where he continues to create and teach master classes on Persian poetry.
