Event description

Join us for a screening of films running alongside Hoda Afshar: A Curve is a Broken Line. The selected films have influenced Hoda Afshar’s artistic practice that often blurs the lines between documentary and fiction.

About the film:

Bandar Band (2020) is directed by Manijeh Hekmat, a prominent figure in political cinema in Iran. After a long time, some Iranian women singers are going to enter an unofficial competition in a coffee shop in Tehran. Pregnant Mahla along with the other members of Bandar Band, her husband and one of their closest friends, starts her journey to Tehran from a southern province just when they have lost all they had in the flood. They still keep their hopes alive, however every road they take leads to a dead-end in a flood-stricken land. They intend to go to Tehran, but they wonder if it is just another turn around a vicious circle.

This is a free film screening and will be held inside UQ Art Museum. There are limited places so please register early.
All attendees must register and show tickets to UQ Art Museum Staff upon entry.

UQ Art Museum is a site for progressive and contemporary creative inquiry. Our work speaks to the distinct context of the Art Museum’s place within the University. We aim to connect each visitor with new ideas in creative practice, and with learning in its many forms.

We collect and exhibit progressive works of art, which stimulate dialogue and debate. We’re committed to opening up dialogue with the faculties, research institutes and centres of the University, and to place education at the core of our activities.

Through our programs we hope to inspire, learn with and connect to our communities both inside and outside the University. We invite you to join one of our events on site to experience a new way to connect with art and ideas.

The University of Queensland (UQ) acknowledges the Traditional Owners and their custodianship of the lands on which UQ operates. We pay our respects to their Ancestors and their descendants, who continue cultural and spiritual connections to Country. We recognise their valuable contributions to Australian and global society.
