Animation Season continues with French-Iranian drama, PERSEPOLIS.

Controversial, Bold, Daring.

Based on Marjane Satrapi's autobiographical graphic-novel, Persepolis shares Strapi's experiences as a young girl coming-of-age in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. 

Persepolis is the poignant story of a young girl coming-of-age in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. It is through the eyes of precocious and outspoken nine year old Marjane that we see a people's hopes dashed as fundamentalists take power - forcing the veil on women and imprisoning thousands.


A coming-of-age tale that manages to be both harrowing and exuberant!
