New York-based visual artist Shirin Neshat’s feature film debut at the North West Film Forum is an adaptation of the novel by exiled Iranian writer Shahmush Parsipur. Set in Iran during its infamous 1953 CIA-backed coup, the film follows four women from different social classes as they take refuge in a metaphorical orchard. Through striking visuals and magical realism, Neshat plumbs the depths of their personal tragedies. The July 9th screening will feature a special introduction by Henry Art Gallery Associate Curator Sara Krajewski.
