> TEHRAN, 7:00 A.M.
(Tehran Sa'at-e Haft Sobh)
(2003) Directed by Amir Shahab Razavian

TEHRAN 7 A.M. traces the fleeting connections among disparate
characters who briefly meet, tell stories, philosophize or confess
love, before moving on to the next encounter. At 7 a.m, a traffic cop
extends the red light to keep his favorite actress from crossing the
street. The driver of a moped taxi listens to the life stories of
passengers he never sees as they sit behind him. Of course, the real
star of the film is Tehran in all its chaotic glory: traffic and
pedestrian bridges crisscross the frame as the hulking girders of new
construction beckon the city's loners to secret encounters by
firelight.

Screenplay: Majid Eslami, Farzad Pourkhoshbakht. Cinematographer:
Morteza Poursamadi. Editor: Parviz Shahbazi. Cast: Behnaz Jafari,
Hasan Moazeni, Reza Khamseh, Parviz Larijani. Presented in Farsi
dialogue with English subtitles. 35mm, 85 min.
