Runaway (Directed by Kim Longinotto & Ziba Mir-Hosseini • 2000 • Iran/United Kingdom) follows the stories of five young girls who arrive at a refuge in Iran’s capital city Tehran, having run away from abusive or neglectful families. Some are in despair, others are simply mischievous; but somehow they must all learn to face the future.
Fest of Duty (Directed by Firouzeh Khosrovani • 2014 • Iran) follows two adolescent cousins as they transition into adulthood eight years after their official Fest of Duty, and observes the divergent impact of religious doctrine on the public and private lives of two teenage girls who come to symbolize the conflicting cultural values in Iran today. Fest of Duty is a religious ceremony designed to instil Islamic beliefs and values in girls when they reach the age of nine.

Fest of Duty• Directed by Firouzeh Khosrovani• 2014 • Iran
Growing up with very different cultural values but in the same social circle, Fest of Duty centers on the lives of Maryam and Melika, two cousins and former childhood best friends, who find themselves living very different lives as adults. Melika dreams of a career as an actress, paints her nails, and hangs out with boys, while Maryam wears hijab with conviction, prays, and fasts. This documentary begins with a scene showcasing a compulsory religious ceremony for girls who have reached the age of nine, in which they learn about the religious duties of adulthood. This simple and minimalist documentary is a vibrantly sensitive look at adulthood in Iran, where the dichotomy between religious life and anti-religious life is the nucleus of society.
In Persian with English Subtitles

Runaway (1) • Directed by Kim Longinotto & Ziba Mir-Hosseini • 2000 • Iran/United Kingdom
In Tehran, Iran, a group of young girls takes refuge in a women's shelter after they run away from the hardships and suffering experienced in their neglectful, abusive families. This documentary is a compelling feminist work, filled with powerful images that highlight the plight of female victims of oppression and discrimination. Longinotto and Mir-Hosseini’s observational camera seeks out the social change that is already underway, and the individuals in their documentary are firmly presented as the subjects of politics. There is a strong feeling of compassion and respect for the young girls, and, what is more, the emotional and heartfelt bond between them is exceptionally palpable.
