President Mahmud Ahmadinejad imposed a ban on ‘Western and decadent music’ in Iran soon after taking power, yet No One Knows About Persian Cats portrays Tehran as a city with a vibrant underground indie rock scene, and features a number of bands who sound and look good enough to be gaining coverage in NME. Made in secret, and in fear for the crew’s safety this is a remarkable film that cannot be broadcast in the country it was made.
After the screening there will be a skype interview with director Bahman Ghobadi and some of the young people in the film to find out about the frightening reality of rule breaking in Iran.
