Join us at 6pm on 30 May at La Ciba Santa Coloma for the screening event ‘CINEFORUM: HAIR. Women, life and freedom in Iran’.
Following the film's screening, its director Mahmoud Ghaffari and screenwriter Mahnaz Jarchi will hold a short discussion. Both have been AR-Residents in Barcelona since March.
The film tells the true story of 3 young deaf-mute Iranian women, all karate champions, who are invited to compete in the World Championship in Germany.
“Super Size Me” was a study in America’s #FastFood culture & its role in the country’s #economy & #health problems, including #obesity. He put on 25 pounds, had bouts of depression & was diagnosed w/liver ailments during a 30-day stretch of McDonald’s-only fare.
Also present at the ARTISTS AT RISK PAVILION in Venice was renowned Iranian #filmmaker in exile Mahmoud Ghaffari. Ghaffari is an AR-Resident in Barcelona.
On 24 April his film ‘The Apple Day’ will premiere at CCCB. Its screenwriter Mahnaz Jarchi is also an AR-Resident.
The #film portrays the everyday life of a family in a suburb of Tehran, offering a sensitive yet critical look at the social & political reality in #Iran.
Careers Week at the kids school. A deeply humbling experience, having to answer, "Did you make the Avengers? Do you work for Disney? Do you know Jack Black? Did you make Spiderman?" 🤣

Anyone know an art director/production designer willing to train/mentor? I stupidly built a film studio in Kampala, now struggling with studio set constructions. Talking to someone experienced might help.
They could be based in anywhere, but I'll apply for grants to bring the person to Uganda, so maybe those in USA or in a European country where their Embassy might help is welcome. 🙂 Otherwise, any volunteer via online classes is welcome!
Okay I'm doing this, I pledge to get copies of every full length movie titled "Cargo", watch them all and rate them for you. I have watched *[Cargo] but that's the only naming exception I'll make. Obviously no two word titles like Bound Cargo or The Cargo as that's unrealistic on its face. Also no shorts, there a lot of shorts called Cargo and I only want full length movies.
I have three on my Plex server now (not counting [Cargo], and I'm trying to get the rest so that I can complete this task in a reasonable amount of time. I may update daily once I habe them all if I can stand it. Here's my list, please help me identify any that I missed;
Cargo (full length)

2019 Vikrant Massey, Shweta Tripathi
2018 Simone Landers, Martin Freeman
2017 Warren Brown, Gessica Geneus

When I was 20 I thought by the time I hit mid-40s, I'd be a world famous writer and filmmaker, but well, here I am, only mildly successful but getting a lot of praise for each story from the very few who find them. Uhm.... So, I turn to teaching, and mentoring. This is one of the classes I give, and it's online so you can sign up, if you ever want to get into #screenwriting
