Sunday February 25, 2007 – Screening Film

Cease Fire (Atash Bas) with a follow-up short discussion by Dr. Roya Rohani Rad

Towson University, Towson, Maryland

An attractive young married couple, one an architect and the other one a civil engineer, with money to burn snipe at each other, destroy the house, run each other off the road and nearly divorce before they solve their problems in a psychiatrist's office. Audiences hooked on Persian mainstream will devour this irreverent romantic comedy, spiced with saucy dialogue that spoofs traditional gender roles through gritted teeth.
Dr. Rohani Rad will present a short follow-up discussion after the movie.
