Pearls on the Ocean Floor, 2010 | Dir. Robert Adanto, USA, 77 min., English, Persian, German; Hebrew subtitles
Introduction: Noa Rosenberg, Curator of Modern Art

This thought-provoking, feature-length documentary examines the lives and works of Iranian female artists living and working in or outside the Islamic Republic. Featuring interviews with numerous art luminaries, it captures the uncertainty of a momentous period of Iranian history. Speaking with grace and honesty, these brave women express what is seldom seen in the Western media—namely, unique individual perspectives of issues of identity, gender, and the role played by art in challenging the traditional stereotypes often associated with women in Iran.

In collaboration with the EPOS Festival.
