CIRCUMSTANCE (Director, Maryam Keshavarz Q &A)
Atafeh and Shireen's friendship escalates to a physical expression of their fondness for each other. These girls are really too young to make judgments on their sexual orientation. This exploration may be done as part rebellion, part experimentation and part comfort...

Have you checked out Tinsel & Tine’s Silver Sites?
Team Jasmine Kaloudis Yoga (Museum of Art), benefiting Living Beyond Breast Cancer I’d like to draw your attention away from film and food for a moment and ask that you take notice of Tinsel & Tine’s “Silver Sites” listed at the bottom of my last post on the page (scroll down).

(Truly, one of my favorite restaurants in the City).
