Sunday, June 30, 7:00 PM | In the Land of Brothers by Alireza Ghasemi and Raha Amirfazil.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Directors Alireza Ghasemi and Raha Amirfazli tell a powerful story across three interconnected episodes of an Afghan refugee family\u2019s generational struggle to make a home in Iran. Corrupt authorities, dehumanizing immigration laws and simply ironic twists of fate each take their toll. Nuanced and affecting performances from the largely non-professional cast and a piercing sense of trauma and injustice that never slips into the melodramatic contributed to Amirfazli and Ghasemi\u2019s win for Best Directing in the World Cinema category at Sundance this year where their feature film debut made its world premiere. DCP, in Persian with English subtitles, drama, 95min.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Written and directed by: Alireza Ghasemi and Raha Amirfazil
With: Hamideh Jafari, Bashir Nikzad, Mohammad Hosseini<\/p>\n\n\n\n
