DESCRIPTION OF FILM CLUB, OFFSIDE

Dir. Dar Alanda Kiaasa Paslasmalar 2005
With: Sima Mobarak-Shahi, Safdar Samandar, Shayesteh Irani
Iran 91 min PG sub-titles

Audaciously filmed at the crucial qualifying match that took Iran to the World Cup, this bitter sweet satire spotlights the injustice suffered by six young female fans for whom live football is off-limits. The gentle humour resides in the girls' deft challenging of the authorities at the Tehran stadium. This is one of those very rare films that, with no very obvious and coercive narrative structure, simply goes with its own self-created flow, and never looks pointless or directionless.
