Persepolis

In the organizer's words:

As part of tonight's film evening, we are collecting donations for families in Iran who have lost their homes due to the current situation or are struggling to afford food and essentials.
The donations will go directly to affected families and local support networks on the ground.
Every contribution helps. Thank you for your solidarity. Donation boxes are visibly placed near the entrance/cash desk.

Disclaimer: The violent and oppressive structures depicted in the film are in the context of the Islamic regime in Iran and are not a representation of Islam or Muslim people in general.
The film addresses an authoritarian political system - not the authentic faith or the diverse realities of Muslim life worldwide.

Content:

Marjane is eight years old when the mullahs drive the Shah out of Persia and take power. The world is suddenly a different place, but the rebellious girl has no intention of submitting to the new strict rules. She would much rather discover punk, ABBA, Iron Maiden and, of course, boys. She has no idea that her playful protest is dangerous ... not only for herself, but also for her family.

Background:
The film is based on the equally renowned graphic novel, directed by the author Marjane Satrapi herself. The unconventional animated film about the director's childhood and youth in Iran during and after the revolution was awarded the Jury Prize in Cannes, among others. In the German dubbed version, Marjane is spoken by Jasmin Tabatabai.
