About the project
Tina Pakravan, screen writer, director and producer of Iranian films began her career producing short films. Her first feature film, The Woman, was a great presentation of the various constraints of Iranian women in current society. Her second feature film, It happened at Midnight, was a turning point towards success for Pakravan in filmmaking industry; the film received recognition at the Fajr Film Festival. The film portrays the romantic relationship of a young man and a middle-aged woman; a concept that is socially unaccepted in Iran which is beautifully illustrated within Pakravan’s tragic romance.
In her recent work, Los Angles – Tehran, Pakravan has Parvis Parastooie in her cast, one of Iran’s treasured comedians featured in comedies such as, Lily is with me, Wrongful Man and The Lizard. Los Angeles – Tehran is Parastooie’s return to comedic films after 8 years.
