Details

Jennifer Saparzadeh makes work rooted in spiritual liberation and poetry. Her experimental documentary films meditate on the obstruction of freedoms and the people and beliefs working against them. Her most recent film, Nu Dem, was made in response to the degrading media coverage of people seeking (and being denied) refuge after the closing of Europe’s borders in 2016.

She translates Farsi for her films as well as Persian pop songs for posterity. Presently, she is in the beginning stages of a film regarding the long-held ban of women singing publicly in Iran, and the inherent potency of public expression through voice and song.

Free tickets can be booked in advance, and each event will have limited, walk-up admission on a first-come, first-served basis.
