TEMPO.CO, Yogyakarta - Network for the Promotion of Asian Cinema (NETPAC) Asian Film Festival or JAFF 2013, is set to screen an Iranian movie about violence towards women. The movie, entitled 'Everything is Fine Here', will hit XXI Cinema Yogyakarta on Thursday evening, December 5 2013.
"You will see the absence of Iranian elements in the movie," said JAFF progammer Ismail Basbeth.
The movie, which directed by an Iranian director Pourya Azarbayjany, depicts a woman named Arghavan, 25, who is a victim of violence. A group of men in a quiet alley at Teheran raped Arghavan just moments before her marriage. In a conservative Iran, Arghavan then suffers a nightmare as untrue rumors starts to spread spreading.
The movie director Pourya Azarbayjany, graduated from Soreh College in Teheran for theatrical director study. He has produced several short movies namely the 'Autumn Travelers' (2000), 'Contrast' (2001), 'A Street with No Number' (2004), 'For Two Cups of Tea' (2004), and 'I Had Come to Have a Cup of Tea with Earth' (2004). Meanwhile, Azarbayjany's movie 'The Unfinished Stories' in 2007, received major reviews, along with some international screenings.
