Dear Cinephiles,

You are invited for a free screening of the Iranian film "Breath" from visionary director Narges Abeyar. A deeply considered and well-crafted film, Breath follows the young, imaginative and joyful Bahar as she grows up in Iran. Breath weaves exquisite live action performances with animated sequences and the intimacy of voice-over to reveal a child’s complex experience of family, school, friendship, literacy and social ambition. This visually innovative film captures Bahar’s growing agency and resilience with the Iranian revolution as a backdrop, before it turns to the devastating consequences of the Iran-Iraq war. One of the most innovative Iranian films of recent years, Abeyari’s latest directorial effort recived the best direction award at The Vancouver International Women in Film Festival 2017 as well Talin Black Nights Film Festival 2016.
