    Add Review/Comment

    Indie Memphis and the Brooks Museum of Art continue their year-round collaboration with the 2010 Global Lens Film Series, which promotes cross-cultural understanding through cinema with unique and critically acclaimed cinematic works from around the world. The series is made possible through the support of the First Tennessee Foundation and is sponsored by the Memphis Flyer and the Global Film Initiative. In MY TEHRAN FOR SALE (2009 / 97 minutes), a riveting, insider's perspective on life in Iran's capital city, a terminally ill actress wearily relates her desperate quest for political asylum through a series of interviews with an unsympathetic government official. Set against the backdrop of Tehran's thriving arts culture, and framed through a series of artful and dramatic flashback sequences, poet-turned-filmmaker Granaz Moussavi boldly registers the trials of a modern woman struggling to flourish in Iran's contemporary political climate. Presented in English and Farsi with English subtitles.
