Post-screening discussion with Shirin Neshat and Shoja Azari. About Women Without Men The Walker first exhibited New Yorkbased Shirin Neshats work in 1998—the same year she won the Venice Biennales prestigious Golden Lion prize for her video pieces. Her first major US solo exhibition was presented here in 2002. She returns with her feature film debut, an adaptation of the novel by exiled Iranian writer Shahrnush Parsipur. Set in Iran during its infamous 1953 CIA-backed coup, the film follows four women from different social classes as they take refuge in a metaphorical orchard. Through striking visuals and magic realism, Neshat plumbs the depths of their personal tragedies. Filmed in haunting muted hues, the womens individual journeys are compelling, and the broader themes of the tensions between religion and secularism and between tradition and modernity have never felt more relevant (British Film Institute). Selected for the 2010 Sundance Film Festival and winner of the 2009 Venice Film Festival Silver Lion. 2009, 35mm, 95 minutes.

Women Without Men
Through the tumultuous summer days of Iran’s 1953 coup d’état, the destinies of four women converge in a beautiful orchard. Together, they find solace and companionship, but it is only a matter of time before the outside world seeps into their lives as their country’s history takes a tragic turn. WOMEN WITHOUT MEN -an adaptation of Shahrnush Parsipur’s magical realist novel- is Iranian artist, Shirin Neshat’s, first feature length film. “For me, this is a poetic gesture, to make a film that allegorically, metaphorically deals with four women looking for an idea of freedom, democracy and independence and the country of Iran.” Women Without Men is an incisive and sumptuously filmed reflection on a pivotal moment in history that led to the Islamic revolution and the Iran we know today. It was awarded with the Silver Lion at Venice Film Festival 2009, where President of the Jury, Ang Lee, commented: “This film grabbed my heart”. The film is dedicated to the memory of those who lost their lives in the struggle for freedom and democracy in Iran – from the Constitutional Revolution of 1906 to the Green Movement of 2009. Video featuring (in order of appearance): Shabnam Tolouei (Munis) Orsi Tóth (Zarin) Arita Shahrzad (Fakhri) Pegah Ferydoni (Faezeh) Music and movie soundtrack by Ryuichi Sakamoto www.womenwithoutmenfilm.com
