Iranian Film Festival Australia (IFFA)

17/08/2024

🎞️ Melbourne International Film Festivali & Iranian Film Festival Australia (IFFA) invite you to Join a panel discussion on Iranian Cinema;

📍Sunday 18 Aug 4:30pm - the Wheeler Center (State Library Victoria)

Explore the rich history of Iranian cinema through the past to present day with the director and co-writers of Cannes 2024 Award Winning film, Universal Langauge. Hosted by Armin Miladi, director of Iranian Film Festival Australia

From this year’s extensive retrospective strand Iranian New Wave: 1962–79 curated for MIFF by the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York which features 26 films over 12 sessions from the Cinema–ye Motafavet (Iranian New Wave) movement, to two new feature films (My Favourite Cake, The Seed of the Sacred Fig), and two new short films (In the Garden of Tulips, In the Shadow of the Cypress), there is a vast array of Iranian cinema to delve into at this year’s festival – covering documentary, animation, fiction and folktale. Add to this the unique Cannes award–winning Canadian film Universal Language – selected for our Bright Horizons Competition – which reimagines Winnipeg as 1980s Iran and lovingly pays homage to key films from that country. Join director Matthew Rankin and co–writer Ila Firouzabadi as they discuss their film alongside the rich tapestry and politics of Persian cinema with the director of the Iranian Film Festival of New York & Australia.

Check Out The New Yorker's Richar Brody review of Subtraction
https://www.newyorker.com/culture/the-front-row/subtraction-a-masterwork-of-realistic-fantasy

“Subtraction” amply demonstrates that the best guarantor of surrealism is realism—that the best fantasy is plausibility with a turn of the screw. The action plays almost like a documentary of daily life, but Haghighi, who wrote the script with Amir Reza Koohestani, builds this fanatically exacting and intricate accretion of detail into a phantasmagoric mystery (both metaphysical and practical)." Richard Brody, The New Yorker 2024.

Directed by: Mani Haghighi
Cast: Taraneh Alidoosti, Navid Mohammadzadeh, Esmail Poor Reza, Farham Azizi

Synopsis:
married couple believe they meet their doppelgängers in this Tehran-set mystery, nominated for the Platform Prize at TIFF.

When Farzaneh (Taraneh Alidoosti) spots a man on a city bus who looks an awful lot like her husband, Jalal (Navid Mohammadzadeh), she follows him to an unfamiliar building. There, she sees the residents greet him as if they know him and watches from the street as he enters an apartment to meet with another woman. Three months pregnant and barely present in her job as a driving instructor, Farzaneh is convinced she’s caught Jalal in an affair. When they discuss it, he’s adamant about his alibi, reminding her that he was miles away at the time. Farzaneh begins to fall apart, but she swears she saw him, and, unable to let go, she continues to pull on the thread before making an unsettling discovery about the man on the bus.

PARTICIPATING CINEMAS:
Palace Cinemas & Hoyts Cinemas

Subtraction is presented in Australia in partnership with Vendetta Films
