 Iran\nLanguage: Persian with English subtitles\nRuntime: 103 min.\nDigital. 
 Color. \n\nAfter his girlfriend emigrates to Italy with the expectation 
 that he will soon follow\, bike messenger Amir (Amirhossein Hosseini) is 
 still neither fully committed to leaving nor fully clear on what the future 
 holds if he stays in Iran. Instead\, he spends his in-between days hanging 
 with friends who have themselves settled into a life of drift\, playing 
 poker\, cooking meals together and biking around the city and country. 
 Nothing ever really happens\, which is precisely the point of 
 writer-director Amir Azizi’s warm and loving portrait of a generation 
 that has learned to embrace simple freedoms and pleasures where they can 
 find them in a world where even that can feel like an act of 
 resistance.\n\nDCP. Director/Screenwriter: Amir Azizi. With: Amirhossein 
 Hosseini\, Hadis Nazari\, Nader Pourmahin.\n \n\nScreening 2 of 2\n\nDivine 
 Comedy\n\nYear: 2025\nCountry: Iran\nLanguage: Persian with English 
 subtitles\nRuntime: 98 min.\nDigital. Color. \n\nIranian writer-director 
 Bahram Ark (Skin\, Animal) plays Bahram\, an Iranian writer-director who 
 has achieved fame on the international festival circuit but has yet to have 
 one of his films screened in Iran. After his latest is again denied a 
 permit\, he and his producer Sadaf (Sadaf Asgari) set out on her moped 
 determined to find a way to get it on screen with the help of a hodgepodge 
 of decidedly eccentric characters. Bahram’s situation is all too familiar 
 to co-writer-director Ali Asgari (Terrestrial Verses) and his regular 
 collaborators here\, who use romantic comedy tropes to illuminate the 
 absurdities — and dangers — faced by filmmakers in Iran.\n\nDCP. 
 Director: Ali Asgari. Screenwriter: Alireza Khatami\, Bahram Ark\, Bahman 
 Ark\, Ali Asgari. With: Bahram Ark\, Sadaf Asgari\, Hossein 
 Soleimani.\n\nJoin Meeting:
