Event Description

A film PREVIEW showing as part of the Borderlines Film Festival 

A young Iranian mother and her six-year-old daughter find refuge in an Australian women’s shelter during the two weeks of the Iranian New Year (Nowruz). Shayda’s husband Hossein is due to finish his medical studies and return to Iran; she fears he will try to take Mona with him. With a quiet but powerful central performance by Zar Amir Ebrahimi, Shayda maintains tension throughout and there is personal resonance to this interrogation of domestic violence.

Borderlines Film Festival 2024 is bigger than ever

Britain’s biggest rural film festival, one of the six largest film festivals in the UK, is set to take place from 1 – 17 March with a record number of screenings and events, just short of 300 in total. Borderlines covers a large area of country with 23 venues across Herefordshire, Shropshire, Malvern and the Marches, from mixed-arts centres and art deco picture palaces to remote village halls.

Supported by the BFI, awarding funds from the National Lottery, the Elmley Foundation and Hereford City Council, Borderlines offers audiences the opportunity to watch some of the very best new releases, including Oscar and BAFTA nominated titles like All of Us Strangers and The Zone of Interest, American Fiction and Anatomy of a Fall (winner of the 2023 Palme d’Or at Cannes).
