DESCRIPTION:Film Screening of\nWomen Without Men Directed by: Shirin Neshat
  and Shoja Azari (95 minutes) “In\nher feature-film debut\, renowned visua
 l artist Shirin Neshat offers an\nexquisitely crafted view of Iran in 1953
 \, when a British- and American-backed\ncoup removed the democratically el
 ected government. Adapted from the novel by\nIranian author Shahrnush Pars
 ipur\, the film weaves together the stories of four\nindividual women duri
 ng those traumatic days\, whose experiences are shaped by\ntheir faith and
  the social structures in place. With a camera that floats\neffortlessly t
 hrough the lives of the women and the beautiful countryside of\nIran\, Nes
 hat explores the social\, political\, and psychological dimensions of\nher
  characters as they meet in a metaphorical garden\, where they can exist a
 nd\nreflect while the complex intellectual and religious forces shaping th
 eir world\nlinger in the air around them. Looking at Iran from Neshat’s po
 int of view\nallows us to see the larger picture and realize that the huma
 n community resembles\ndifferent organs of one body\, created from a commo
 n essence.”
