TEHRAN TEHRAN

Two directors representing different generations create stories set in Tehran. In "Episode One: Days of Acquaintance," Dariush Mehrjui (MAMA’S GUESTS, HAMOON), one of the key figures of the New Iranian Cinema, weaves Persian New Year traditions and sweet memories of the past into a heartwarming tale of a young family’s change of fortune after they mistakenly board a bus full of senior citizens for a tour of the city. In "Episode Two: The Last String," director Karampour tells a contemporary story of the eruption of in-fighting and suspicion that results when an underground rock band faces the last-minute cancellation of their concert permit. In Persian with English subtitles. 35mm. (BS)
