Nafas (Breath) Film Screening
Please join us for a special screening of "Breath" ("Nafas" in Farsi) on Thursday March 29th at 5:30 PM in the Princeton Garden Theatre. This event is FREE and open to the public. NO TICKETS REQUIRED. "Produced in 2015, "Nafas" relates the story of a little Iranian girl named Bahar who lives a life spun from folklore and stories, and always with her head in a book. But growing up in Yazd in the 1970s and '80s, she is at the centre of a country in turmoil: the Shah is overthrown, Ayatollah Khomeini rises to power, and the first shots are fired in a bitter and protracted war with Iraq. Over the span of several years, Bahar finds daydreaming in her own fantasy world is the only way she can make sense of the pain and suffering warring humans inflict on one another. This film was Iran's submission to the 2016 Academy Awards." For questions send an email to oruganti@princeton.edu
