IndiePix Films invites you to the NYC Premiere of WOMEN WITHOUT MEN
Winner of the Silver Lion for Best Director at the 2009 Venice Film Festival, this first feature film by acclaimed visual artist Shirin Neshat explores the lives of four women during the traumatic era in early fifties Iran. Neshat, recognized for her haunting images of Islam, delves into the social and psychological dimensions of her characters as a British and American backed coup topples a democratically elected government. With subtlety and poetry, WOMEN WITHOUT MEN reveals the impact of historical and religious forces on females across the spectrum of Iranian society.
