27th Annual Festival of Films from Iran

This month the Gene Siskel Film Center presents the "27th Annual Festival of Films from Iran". This long-running showcase for Iranian cinema provides an ever-changing view on contemporary Persian culture through the eyes of Iran’s inventive filmmakers. Special focus is given to films featuring female main characters including "Inverstion" a Cannes Film Festival which explores an independent woman betrayed by her siblings and "Daughter", a film about a college student who finds that rebellion against her over-protective dad comes with the discovery of family secrets. Plus, buy a ticket for the first Iranian film on any applicable Saturday and Sunday and get a ticket for the second Iranian film that day at a discounted rate.
