Women’s History Month – Local Filmmaker
Laguna Beach Cultural Arts Center (LBCAC) presents, Tehran Tourist, the next experimental documentary from anthropologist Roxanne Varzi. This time, she decides that the best way to see a place with a multitude of preconceived notions attached to it is through the eyes of a child.
The film plays with youthful notions of identity and place and belonging as a child tries to make sense of where he is and where he came from. All the while, it introduces the non-Iranian viewer to an Iran that very few are privy to.
Free admission with RSVP includes post screening discussion with the filmmaker.
Roxanne Varzi is a writer, artist, filmmaker, playwright and Full professor of anthropology at the University of California Irvine. She holds a PhD in Anthropology from Columbia University, was the first Fulbright scholar to Iran since the Revolution, A Woodrow Wilson Scholar and the youngest Distinguished Senior Iranian Visiting Fellow at St. Antony’s College, Oxford University.
