A tribute screening and celebration of director Marjane Satrapi.
Winner of the Cannes Jury Prize, Persepolis is based on Satrapi’s biographical graphic novel of the same name, which follows a precocious young girl in Tehran who comes of age during the country’s 1979 revolution and the Iran-Iraq war. Like the graphic novel, the film is in black-and-white and uses traditional animation techniques, achieving a striking palette that remains timeless.
Start time: This screening will not feature ads and trailers, and will feature an in person introduction.
