Once you see the trailer for TEHRAN TABOO (Ali Soozandeh, Germany/Austria/ Iran, 2018)and witness its artistry and lush animation, and then consider its deep look into resistant youth culture in Iran, you will probably rush down to Cinemapolis to nab a ticket.
TEHRAN TABOO is a gorgeously animated film that reveals the hypocrisies of modern Iranian society, where sex, drugs, and corruption coexist with strict religious law.
Thursday April 12 at 4 and 9:30 pm at Cinemapolis

We are also screening an extraordinary and hard-to-see Chinese animated film called HAVE A NICE DAY (Jian Liu, China, 2017) which is banned in China.
HAVE A NICE DAY tells the story of a young driver who steals from a gang boss to correct his girlfriend’s plastic surgery.
