CHICAGO – In the last seven years, the work of Iranian director Asghar Farhadi has emerged internationally. His Oscar-winning film “A Separation” (2011) and “The Salesman” (2016) has launched his set-in-Iran films to a wider audience. The Gene Siskel Film Center in Chicago has been highlighting the country’s cinema for years, and they present the 28th Festival of Films from Iran through March 1st, 2018.

Eight films will be shown throughout the month-long program, including “Ava,” “24 Frames,” “Disappearance,” “Negar,” “Tehran Taboo,” and ‘Waiting for Kiarostami.” For more information about the festival and the films, including tickets, click here. [17]
