DESERT DANCER RICHARD RAYMOND, 2014 UK | FORMAT: DCP | 104 MINUTES

Closing Night Q&A with Richard Raymond! Set in Iran, this powerful, incredible yet true story follows the brave ambitions of Afshin Ghaffarian. During the volatile climate of the 2009 presidential election (when many cultural freedoms were threatened), Afshin and some friends (including Elaheh, played by Freida Pinto) risk their lives to form an underground dance company. Through banned online videos they learn from the likes of Michael Jackson and Rudolf Nureyev—icons of dance whose resonance crosses all cultural divides—while also teaching themselves, and in the process embracing their passion for dance and for one another. This special advance screening is courtesy of Relativity Media.   Screening with: Capturing Motion NYC Student Film Competition Winning Film
