Department of Social Anthropology War and Iranian Cinema Organiser Dr P Khosronejad - Date: Week 7 Thursday 12 November 2009 - Venue: School I - All are welcome "Plastic Flowers Never Die" A film by: Roxane Varzi, 33, 2008, U.S.A "Plastic Flowers Never Die" is an experimental documentary film essay about the culture of martyrdom and mourning surrounding the Iran-Iraq war (1980 1989). It was shot in Iran, and uses archival footage from the war. The film not only addresses the impact of the war for Iranians living in Iran, but the impossibility of coming to terms with the war for the Iranians who are abroad. -- Dr. Pedram Khosronejad Department of Social Anthropology 71 North Street University of St. Andrews St. Andrews, Fife, Scotland KY16 9AL Tel: +44 (1334) 461968 Fax: +44 (1334) 462985 Email: pedram.khosronejad@st-andrews.ac.uk
