The eclectic collection consists of both narratives and documentaries and captures the social atmosphere throughout the one decade after the 1999 student protest \u2013 including the two prominent incidents: the 2004 execution of Atefah Sahaaleh, and the 2009 Iranian election. They also explore, with imaginative cinematic language, such themes as female experiences, and cross-cultural misunderstanding.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Screening:<\/strong><br \/>\nFOR THE BIRDS<br \/>\nDREAM OF SILK (EXCERPT)<br \/>\nTURNABOUT<br \/>\nTO RIDE A BICYCLE<br \/>\nTHE THEFT<br \/>\nWHEN A KID WAS A KID<br \/>\nA DAY IN EDEN<\/p>\n<p>For more information about the film, please visit:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/aaiff.org\/2014\/shorts-programs\/iranian-shorts\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/aaiff.org<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saturday, July 26, 2014, 3:30 PM City Cinema Village East 189 2nd Ave, New York, NY 10003<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-45091","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-stay-connected-to-the-latest-local-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45091","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/29"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=45091"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45091\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":46247,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45091\/revisions\/46247"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=45091"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=45091"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=45091"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
