Journeys In Film

At Journeys, we've been talking together about our favorite Iranian films. (Yes, we might working on a related project... stay tuned.)

Meanwhile, we would love to hear from Fedi film fans: what are your favorite films from Iran and the Iranian diaspora?

@ClimateJenny We are fans of Children of Heaven, too!

We created the official teaching guide for it. The guide includes background about Iranian culture and history that viewers may find helpful in non-teaching contexts, too.

@JourneysInFilm this might not be what you're looking for, but an Iranian friend of mine was very proud to show me this movie when I told him I was surprised to learn there's so much snow in Iran. What beautiful places, how wonderful people and interesting culture.

Snowmads: A Foreign Native

Freerider Fabian Lentsch wants to drop the tourist role. That's why on this year-long road trip with his Snowmads truck in Iran he immerses himself in local culture for the authentic trip of a lifetime.
