FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Toronto, 8 March, 2010 – The Power Plant is collaborating with the 23rd Images Festival to co-present an advance screening of internationally-renowned contemporary artist Shirin Neshat’s first feature film Women Without Men (in collaboration with Shoja Azari, 2009, 97 min.) This special evening will begin with a VIP reception, where VIP guests will enjoy reserved seating, refreshments and gift bags and share the exclusive opportunity to hear remarks from the filmmaker. Following the film, Jian Ghomeshi, host of the CBC Radio One national arts and entertainment program, Q, leads a Q&A with Shirin Neshat, a post-screening event for all ticket holders.
Women Without Men expands the New-York based artist’s widely acclaimed photography and video practice to the big screen. The film adapts Shahrnush Parsipur’s 1990 novella of the same name and is set against the backdrop of the politically tumultuous early 1950s. Neshat creates a multifaceted narrative detailing the harrowing experiences of four Tehran women from all walks of life. The artist captures each woman’s struggles for independence with a sumptuous and potent visual language. The film has won the Silver Lion at the Venice film festival, and has received rave reviews.
Shirin Neshat (born in 1957, Qazyin, Iran) has been a pioneering figure in the cultural representation of Muslim women over the past twenty years. She achieved great renown in the 1990s for her powerful film, video and photographic work, which dramatizes themes of gender and power through an emotionally potent and highly stylized visual language. Neshat has exhibited internationally in group and solo exhibitions since the early 1990s. Recent solo exhibitions have been held at the National Museum of Contemporary Art, Athens (2009), National Gallery of Iceland, Reykjavik (2008), Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam (2006), and Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin (2005).
This event is a benefit for The Power Plant and the Images Festival, who have collaborated on several successful projects over the years. Gregory Burke, Director of The Power Plant praises this relationship and this special event: “The Power Plant and the Images Festival are separately committed to presenting the most engaging and influential international artists of our time. We celebrate any opportunity to work together towards this goal, and we are extremely excited to harness this particular opportunity, as it enables us to bring Shirin Neshat, one of the world’s most revered contemporary artists to Toronto.”
The Power Plant and the Images Festival extend deepest thanks to Mongrel Media. Women Without Men opens theatrically in Toronto Friday, 2 April. For further information, visit http://www.womenwithoutmenfilm.com.

Are you on Facebook? 
Have you have ever heard the term "runescape accounts"? How about, "runescape gold"? They have many names, but they are all the same. Although I know exactly what a macro is in Runescape, I thought I would do some research and see what a macro was outside of runescape gold for sale. Macroing in runescape accounts for sale Basically, when you use a runescape gold, you are using a program that will play the game for you. There are many different types of these, such as; Mining Bots, Woodcutting Bots, Attacking Bots, but they all do the same thing, get levels. This is against the rules of runescape quests. Jagex bans thousands of accounts a month due to these cheats. I cannot tell people enough, cheating is NOT the answer. If people would just do the work themselves, then there would be no problem. Macroing outside of runescape power leveling:As I promised, I researched and this is what I found; "A macro is a way to automate a task that you perform repeatedly or on a regular basis. It is a series of runescape money making commands and actions that can be stored and run whenever you need to perform the task. You can record or build a runescape gold, and then play the macro to automatically repeat the series of commands or actions."
