About Elly
Thriller
From the Academy Award winning director of A SEPARATION and the Academy Award nominated THE SALESMAN comes this mesmerizing thriller about a young woman’s mysterious disappearance. With the return of their close friend Ahmad from Germany, a group of old college pals decide to reunite for a weekend outing by the Caspian Sea. The fun starts right away as they catch on to the plan of Sepideh, who has brought along Elly, her daughter's kindergarten teacher, in hopes of setting her up with recently divorced Ahmad. But seemingly trivial lies, which start accumulating from the moment the group arrives at the seashore, come back to haunt them when one afternoon Elly suddenly vanishes. Her disappearance sets in motion a series of deceptions and revelations that threaten to shatter everything they hold dear.
The Past
Drama
Upon his estranged wife's request, Ahmad (Ali Mosaffa) returns to Paris from Tehran after a four year separation to finalize their divorce so Marie (Bérénice Bejo, The Artist, Academy Award Nominee for Best Supporting Actress, 2011) can marry her new boyfriend, Samir (Tahar Rahim, The Prophet, European Film Awards Winner for Best Actor, 2009). During his tense brief stay, Ahmad discovers the conflicting nature of Marie's relationship with her teenage daughter Lucie (Pauline Burlet). Ahmad's efforts to improve this relationship soon unveil a secret from their past.
The Color of Paradise
Drama
Oscar® nominee Majid Majidi (Children Of Heaven, Best Foreign Language Film 1998) explores the world of a gifted blind boy at the mercy of his father's crippling sense of shame. Mohammad (Mohsen Ramezani) is an energetic 8-year-old who is much like the other children in his small Iranian village except in one regard: he is blind. But Mohammad's heightened remaining senses make him even more receptive to the world around him. His optimism, however, is not shared by his widower father (Hossein Mahjub), a bitter man who sees the boy's condition as a liability, especially as it pertains to his desire to marry the village beauty. Dad plans to farm out the boy to apprentice to a blind carpenter far away, but the boy's grandmother (Salime Feizi), the glue who holds the family together, may yet have the last word.
