'Mashhad': A Short Film Screening and Q&A |
🎬 Tuesday, Sept. 30 at 7 p.m. ET 🎬
|
This is your chance to see a Jewish film that will contend in the Academy Award conversation! The short film "Mashhad" follows Miriam, a young Jewish ghetto girl struggling to understand why her family conceals who they are. An innocent day playing with a neighborhood friend soon threatens the fragile safety of two households.
Inspired by writer-director Sarah Solemani’s family history in the Mashhadi Jewish community, the film offers a rare cinematic window onto a long-suppressed chapter of Iranian Jewish life. On Tuesday night, Solemani and producer Noam Dromi of Reboot Studios will show the 15-minute film and then discuss it in a live online event.
