Boston Festival of Films from Iran

Dead End

Directed by Parviz Sayyad (Iran, 1977, 95 min.). Farsi with English subtitles. Directed by Parviz Sayyad, a groundbreaking voice in Iranian cinema renowned for his incisive critiques of social and political issues, Dead End unfolds as a seemingly simple love story between a young woman and a mysterious stranger who appears at her window. Beneath this intimate encounter lies a taut exploration of the unspoken tensions within 1970s Iranian society. Mary Apick delivers a powerful performance that earned her the Best Actress award at the Moscow International Film Festival, adding depth to a film that captures a vividly Westernized Iran on the cusp of profound political and cultural change.

Location : Harry and Mildred Remis Auditorium (Auditorium 161)
