Iran films showcased at Cinema Culture Center
Waleed Marzouk Published in Almasry Alyoum on 04 - 03 - 2010

The Cinema Culture Center will be screening five award-winning films by women from the Iranian Makhmalbaf family in March as part of its "Women in Film" series.
The first three films are by director Samira Makhmalbaf--daughter of renowned filmmaker Mohsen Makhmalbaf--who made her first film, "The Apple," at the age of 21, and became the youngest recipient of two Special Jury awards at the Cannes Film Festival for her subsequent works, "Blackboards" and "At Five in the Afternoon." The series will also include "Buddha Collapsed Out of Shame," directed by Hana Makhmalbaf, Mohsen's daughter, and "The Day I Became a Woman," the first film directed by Mohsen's second wife, Marzieh Makhmalbaf.
The films will be screened every Wednesday at 7 PM, in the Farsi language with Arabic subtitles. Seating is limited, so viewers are advised to arrive early.
