Peter Chase says:

“All of these movies are award winners. Everything is natural as we enter into the scenery of every day life in Iran. There is nothing contrived or manipulative in these movies, yet even the most simple story becomes an epic account. The perfect pace and editing of these films makes them timeless. I like the way each of these movies end and stay with you the next day.”

Admission is free. The films are in Farsi with English subtitles.
