Movie: "TEN" Directed by Abbas Kiarostami

Time: 8:00pm Location: Student Lounge - Foothill College

Art/Foreign and Drama 1 hr. 34 min. Seen from just two camera angles (the driver seat and the passenger seat of a car), through the eyes of one woman as she drives through the streets of Tehran over a period of several days. Her journey is comprised of ten conversations with various female passengers -- including her sister, a hitchhiking prostitute and a jilted bride -- as well as her imperious young son. As Kiarostami's "dashboard cam" eavesdrops on these lively, yet heart-wrenching road trips, a complex portrait of contemporary Iran comes sharply into focus.

Refreshments will be served.
