SUN JAN 14, 2024 9:30 PM CIRCUMSTANCE $8.00 (member) ; $13.00 (general admission) Los Feliz 3 | Introduction by filmmaker Maryam Keshavarz ‘Award-Winning Films from Maryam Keshavarz’ and ‘Here’s to Her’ Tickets are no longer on sale for this event.
ABOUT THE FILM: In Farsi with English subtitles. A suspenseful tale of love and family upended by obsession and suspicion, CIRCUMSTANCE is also a provocative coming-of-age story that cracks open the hidden, underground world of Iranian youth culture, where a young woman’s most electrifying passions can become the most dangerous of secrets. Writer-director Maryam Keshavarz’s debut feature boldly takes filmgoers inside a modern Iran rarely witnessed by outsiders: an exhilarating, invisible realm of illicit nightclubs where young hipsters risk arrest, and their futures, as they experiment with sex, drugs and defiance, all while trying to evade the authorities.
