20 Fingers Film Screening, 21st April, 2005

A film by Mania Akbari, director/actor and Bijan Daneshmand, producer/actor, won the Venice Film Festival Award in the Digital Category. The film, in the Persian language with English subtitles, explores gender relations and the way men and women in Iran interact within the confines of their own expectations and society's rules. Following the film screening therewas a Q&A session with Mania Akbari, translated expertly by Vali Mahloudji. Proceeds from the event went to the Magic of Persia-David Elghanayan Bursary at St. Paul's Boys' School. www.film20fingers.com
