ROXANA, a film by Parviz Shahbazi, Starring: Yasna Mirtahmasb, Mahsa Akbarabadi, and Maede Tahmasbi.San Francisco Premiere Screening
Presented by Farhang Foundation and the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts.
A listless young man splits his time between caring for his mom (barely), hanging out at the local underground pool hall and spending his best friend’s money. A chance encounter with Roxana after her car is broken into focuses his attention and soon he’s centered his life around helping her recover a stolen camera she needs for her wedding photography business. Helping her solve her problems, however, only deepens his own. Writer-director Parviz Shahbazi builds an arresting take on the experience of young Iranians struggling to find their way and start their lives in a world where one misstep can have the direst of consequences.
Director/Screenwriter: Parviz Shahbazi
