NYC PREMIERE What does a woman do when political institutions police every aspect of her life, from the way she dresses to what she does for a living? Filmmaker Farahnaz Sharifi takes her 8mm camera and records an alternate life, one lived behind closed doors where her family and friends choose for themselves. This powerful documentary offers a heady and provocative mix of personal narrative and lessons in Iran’s history since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. – Murtada Elfadl
