The Iranian Film Festival Australia returns to Adelaide, with an opening screening of I’m Not Angry, Friday 31 October, 7pm. This stunning second film from writer-director Reza Dormishian (Hatred, IFFA 2012) is a love story set amidst the Green Movement and the wave of political protests in 2009. Setareh (Baran Kosari) and Navid (Navid Mohammadzadeh), an Iranian Kurd, are both political activists who meet at university and participate in political rallies together.

The film does not only tell the story of the lead actors, but also the wider political climate in Iran during that time. Award winning performances, dynamic music and script make this controversial film unmissable.

The Bob Hawke Prime Ministerial Centre is delighted to partner with the Iranian Film Festival Australia and Mercury Cinema to co-present this screening as well as an exclusive In-Conversation with lead actress, Baran Kosari.

Kosari, who was active in the Green Movement in Iran, has a long track record for choosing strong roles dealing with major social issues and those with heavy political content. In I’m Not Angry, she plays the lead female role – a political activist caught up in the protests.
