Foreign Film and Discussion Series


FOREIGN FILM AND DISCUSSION SERIES
Now entering its fifth year, the Foreign Film and Discussion Series is held at Evesham Library in Marlton, NJ, one Sunday afternoon of each month at 2 p.m. Drexel University Professor Ramesh Kajaria leads this film viewing and discussion. Films are shown in their native languages with English subtitles.
Oct 5 at 2 p.m.: Offside (d. Jafar Panahi, 2006, 99 min). Many Iranian girls love soccer as much as their countrymen and sport fans all over the world but, they are prevented by law from attending live soccer matches in their country. Inspired by the day when his own daughter was refused entry to a soccer stadium in Iran, Jafar Panahi’s Offside follows a day in the life of a group of Iranian girls attempting to watch their team’s World Cup qualifying match against Bahrain at the stadium in Tehran.
