Tehran Has No More Pomegranates
Date: Friday, February 26, 2010
Time: 5:30 P.M
Place: McLane 121
Tehran Has No More Pomegranates (2006). Directed by Massoud Bakhshi, made over the span of five years, the film is a comic and sarcastic narrative about Tehran's transformation from a small village into a huge modern megalopolis. Using an energetic mix of never-before-seen archival footage from the past 120 years, modern images of Tehran, and sometimes asynchronous music and sound, the aesthetic and cultural values of old and new Tehran are brought to life. In the process, director and crew embark on a self-discovery, realizing that while they belong to a drastically transformed Tehran, being a "Tehrani" is a timeless state of mind.
The film has received many critical acclaims, festival nominations and awards, including; Official Selection HOTDOCS, IDFA, Full Frame, Rotterdam Film Festivals; Winner, Best Director, 25th International Fajr Film Festival, Winner, Best Director, 11th House of Cinema Film Festival, Winner, AVINI Prize, Best Documentary of the year 2007 and Winner, Audience Award, CINEMA VERITE International Documentary Film Festival. 67 min.
