About the event
SOLD OUT!!
Iran is in the news. But few Americans have actually visited Iran, or have even a superficial impression of the country, its varied peoples, sights and cities, and its 6,000 years of continuous history. Iran: Outside In takes viewers on a road trip across the Islamic Republic from Tehran and Tabriz in the north to Kerman, Yazd, Shiraz and Isfahan in the south, with a side trip to Persepolis. Documentary filmmaker Mark Woodcock joined the first Harvard Alumni tour to that country in May, 2015, a tour led by diplomat and scholar Peter W. Galbraith. Although Mark had no intention of making a film of his trip at the time, he did bring along his camera--and he soon realized that he had the material for a professional cinéma-vérité documentary.
The screening will be in Mark's living room on the Upper West Side--you'll get the exact address only after you register for the event. Advance registration is REQUIRED. No tickets will be sold at the door. If you're a dues-paying member of the Autumn Garden Society, make sure you LOG IN before you order your tickets, in order to get the reduced Members' price--just $6 per ticket! You'll see the reduced price in your cart after you add the tickets.
Mark's living room is small, so we expect this screening to sell out quickly and we strongly recommend registering early.
The event will begin at 6:30 pm with a WINE AND HORS D'OEUVRES RECEPTION, with the film screening and discussion starting at 7 pm.
