Tonight we saw an Iranian film, THE WHITE MEADOWS. Stunning cinematography to tell a story which symbolizes the complete repression of artistic expression in that country. The director and film editor of this film have been under house arrest (threat of 6 year imprisonment) and have been silenced for 20 years following their show trials in 2010. Once again Chale gave informative and entertaining intros and handed out two pages of background history.
The afternoon was spent in rehearsal of August:Osage County which reminded me that learning by doing is invaluable. Hats off to our 23y.o. director whose style, intelligence and humanity comes shining through each time we work together.
