Tuesday 28th November, 2023 5.30-9pm

November’s offering for the Woodlands Community Anti-Racist Film Club is a comedy drama about a director banned from making films who takes to driving a taxi fitted with a camera around Tehran, discussing social challenges in Iran with his passengers. Based on the director’s own circumstances, this is the third film director Jafar Panahi has released in semi-clandestine conditions.
After the screening there will be time to discuss the film and surrounding issues. The film club aims to be a place of support and belonging for People of Colour and a place where white allies can take responsibility for their own learning. Hoping to raise searching questions and explore issues in a supportive environment. It’s OK to make mistakes but please own your mistakes.
