One Must Wash Eyes.
On the occasion of Nowruz, The Polygon Gallery invites guests to a special screening of One Must Wash Eyes directed by Vancouver-based Iranian filmmaker Sepideh Yadegar.
Filmed in Vancouver, One Must Wash Eyes tells the story of an international Iranian student Sahar (played by Pegah Ghafoori), whose life changes dramatically after she’s photographed at a Women, Life, Freedom protest in Vancouver, leading to severe consequences from Iranian authorities. The film captures the helplessness of watching your homeland suffer from a distance and highlights the losses that extend far beyond just precious lives.
The event takes place on March 20. Doors open at 6 pm, and Negin Ata leads a Farsi-language exhibition tour of Rotimi Fani-Kayode: Tranquility Of Communion starting at 6:30 pm. One Must Wash Eyes screens at 7 pm, with Yadegar in attendance for a post-film Q&A.
Learn more and RSVP for the event through The Polygon Gallery.
