Iranian Movies at the Cinema Culture Center

A unique opportunity to watch a series of movies directed by the ladies of the Makhmalbaf family is offered by the Cinema Culture Center (36, Sherif St. - Downtown).
The next movie, "Blackboards" by Samira Makhmalbaf, winner of the Special Price of the Jury in Cannes, will be screened on Wednesday, March 10 at 7:00 PM.
The movies are announced in original Farsi language with Arabic subtitles, but even people not familiar with these two languages can appreciate the poetry and the excellent photography associated normally (I did not seee this movie in particular) with Iranian cinema.
For the program of the whole series of screenings, click here to be redirected to Al-Masry Al-Youm page dedicated to the event.
