Dear HfK-Community,

we know many of you may be familiar with, or even supportive of, the struggle surrounding Circa106. We are incredibly grateful for all of the presence and support shared along the way. More information on recent developments will follow soon. We are taking a moment to transition.

With this, we are excited to roll ahead and announce the screening of
„The Crowd” a film by Sahand Kabiri, followed by artist talk + discussion. This Thursday, 13th of February at 20:00 (open doors: 19:30).

Language: Farsi
Subtitles: English
Duration: 70min

The Crowd: Hamed hails from a well-off religious family, sharing a middle-class flat with Raman, who is set to emigrate in a few days. Raman is upset he cannot spend his last days with friends because they don't have an appropriate venue to gather. Hamed, determined to help, decides to throw a party in a vacant warehouse belonging to his family, but without alerting the other owners. However, he faces another dilemma: Their close friend, Tondar, recently passed away in an accident which they cannot talk about publicly.

Sahand Kabiri (1991) is a director and screenwriter based in Tehran. Kabiri pursued screenwriting studies at the Art University of Tehran. A nuanced depiction of gender relations in Iran, particularly among his own
generation, is a distinctive aspect of earlier works. Active in the Iranian film industry and in artistic communities, these works insist on making intelligible the lived experience of disparate cultural groups. In movies, Kabiri has explored representations of various communities in Iran.
