Screenings
Hanna and Pari have found ways to make political art under the radar, avoiding Iran’s strict censorship through secret plays and long, food-fuelled hangouts in their flat. But when Pari puts on her latest play, she and Hanna must face the realities of their situation. Shot in secret and smuggled into the Sundance Film Festival, this is a hangout movie with an urgent political charge.
