"Baran" next in film series

The Friends of the Jamestown Library announce the showing of the third film in their 2008 Foreign Film Series, which will be screened on Thursday, March 6, at 7 p.m. The film is the 2002 Iranian film "Baran."

"Baran" is directed by Majid Majidi and is a love story about a 17-year-old boy, Lateef, living in Teheran, working in the kitchen of a construction site. When a young Afghan boy is hired to replace Lateef, he seeks revenge, and then discovers that the Afghan boy is a girl hiding her gender to help support her family. The director manages to make this a romantic fable that highlights the plight of the 1.5 million Afghani refugees in Iran. The film is 1 hour, 34 minutes long.

All films are free and open to the public. For more information, contact the library at 423-7280. Refreshments will be served.
