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Shahriyar is a both a garbage collector and an unpublished novelist who has a passion for literature and poetry.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