Due to the current outbreak of coronavirus, Persian Cultural Center (PCC), House of Iran (HOI) and the Association of Iranian American Professionals (AIAP) had to make the difficult decision of canceling the planned 21st annual Chahar-shanbeh soori celebration, scheduled for March 17, 2020.

We appreciate your understanding and continued support. Please stay safe and receive our sincere well wishes for a very happy Nowruz and a prosperous and healthy 1399.

Nesa – نسا
Directed by: Loghman Khaledi
2010 / 52 minutes
Persian with English subtitle
Nesa longs to be an actress and wants nothing more than to perform with a theater group. 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.
You can watch this documentary on IMVBOX.COM for free.

Moving Up – کمی بالاتر
Directed by: Loghman Khaledi
2011 / 59 minutes
Persian with English subtitle

Shahriyar is a both a garbage collector and an unpublished novelist who has a passion for literature and poetry.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
life 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.

The Music
The “Middle East” is a fairly recent name for a vast geographical region with a long shared history, stretching from perhaps Afghanistan in the East, across the Mediterranean, and North Africa, almost to Spain in the West. It’s history – and hence it’s music – is defined by the three big empires: Persian, Arabian, and Ottoman, each dominating a huge area for hundreds of years.
Even so, many many other nations, notably the Kurds, Armenians, Greeks, Chaldeans, Assyrians, and others contributed to the rich culture and music of the Middle East (ME). So, maybe it’s more accurate to speak of the many musics of the ME, rather than Middle Eastern music.
Some general characteristics of Middle Eastern musics include the use of so-called “quarter tones” (absent from the piano and guitar), ample improvisation, and a traditional way of teaching heart-to-heart. Additionally, Middle Eastern musics share a tonal concept called maqâm, somewhat similar to Western scales. Persian music additionally uses a system called dastgâh, which provides a framework for navigating between maqâms.
Jazz is an African-American art form from the 20th century. The development of jazz includes roots in the folk musics of the South with influences from Latin and European musics, through mainstream acceptance as a dance music prior to World War II, to a more abstract improvisational form of expression in the last half-century.
Grossmont College world music instructor Farhad Bahrami – with help from veterans of the San Diego jazz and Latin scene: Omar López, Fernando Gomez, and Louis Valenzuela – re-imagines Persian classical and folk melodies within the group framework of jazz, as an example of the possibilities inherent in world musics.

The PCC Youth Committee will be hosting its second food drive throughout December, every Wednesday from 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM(December 23-30). All donated food will go to the San Diego Food Bank, where it will be distributed to those who are in need. Furthermore, new toys packaged in their original container will be accepted. These will go to children who are unable to experience the joy of opening a new toy on Christmas morning.

Now more than ever it is important to donate and support the community due to the devastation caused by COVID-19. With your help, we can ensure a happy and healthy holiday season for all who have felt the pain of loss and isolation. The PCC Youth Committee would like to thank you for your continued support and participation which helps keep the community thriving.
