17 december, Film Screening Announcement – 1001 Nights Apart

We are pleased to invite you to a special screening of the documentary 1001 Nights Apart on December 17th at 5:00 PM at Werkstattkino.

The film explores the forgotten history of the National Ballet of Tehran before the 1979 Revolution and follows the lives of today’s young ballet dancers in Iran, who pursue their art despite restrictions and cultural suppression. Through rare archival footage and intimate encounters across generations, 1001 Nights Apart reveals a moving portrait of resilience, memory, and the power of dance.

After the screening, there will be an artist talk with the filmmaker Sarvnaz Alambeigi, moderated by Hadeel Abdelhameed.

We warmly invite you to join us for this special cinematic event and the discussion that follows.
