Amir and his friends have a righteous anger against the Ayatollah state, and a rather eccentric plan for how they can give it shape:  They cobble together a really trashy, scruffy anti-Khomeini video, which should then be secretly distributed around Iran and carry out its subsersive effects. When the Iranian secret service gets wind of this tape, the hunt begins, blood will flow. Battle zone cinema.

Lange schatten

Cinema essayist Mansur Madavi returned to the director's chair for the first time in nine years with this meditation on growing up in a small village in Chile. An elderly man (Lorenzo Montalban) looks back on the town where he grew up and recalls the mysteries of his youth, as well as the disappointments that led him to seek his fortune elsewhere. As the past travels by him, he recalls buildings that fell to dust, the arrest of his teachers, adventures with his schoolmates, watching a close friend catch pigeons, and discovering a boy who lived in tunnels he dug under the earth.
