Presented on 35mm in memory of Marjane Satrapi with an intro.
Based on the popular graphic novel Marjane ‘Marji’ Statrapi, Persepolis is the story of a young girl coming of age in a rapidly changing world. Set to the backdrop of the 1979 Iranian Revolution, this beautifully animated film follows Marjane as she struggles to find her voice and her place in a society corrupted by tyranny and religious fundamentalism.
