The New York Premier of the Award-Winning Film "Women Without Men," directed by Shirin Neshat, the Internationally Acclaimed Artist and Iranica Trustee

Winner of the Silver Lion for Best Director at the 2009 Venice Film Festival, this first feature film by acclaimed visual artist Shirin Neshat explores the lives of four women during the traumatic era in early fifties Iran. Neshat, recognized for her haunting images of Islam, delves into the social and psychological dimensions of her characters as a British and American backed coup topples a democratically elected government. With subtlety and poetry, WOMEN WITHOUT MEN reveals the impact of historical and religious forces on females across the spectrum of Iranian society. 

The film opens on Friday, May 14th in New York City at the Quad Cinema, located at 34 West 13th Street and Lincoln Plaza Cinema at 1886 Broadway Avenue.
