The acclaimed Oscar nominated Persepolis is back for a FREE one-time only outdoor screening on Town Lake! Marjane is a young girl coming of age during the Iranian revolution along with her idealistic family who yearns for a brighter future for their country. From young punk rebel to alienated Austrian expatriate to outspoken political dissident, we follow Marjane’s extraordinary life through the stunning and inventive animation of Vincent Paronnaud and Marjane Satrapi (on whose life Persepolis is based). This winner of the Jury Prize at the Cannes Festival captures the optimism of a young girl who refuses to let even the most adverse of circumstances dampen her rebellious spirit. Accompanied by the delicious global cuisine of three Austin food vendors (Sushi-A-Go-Go, Satay Thai and Get Sum Dim Sum) and preceded by the phenomenal Iranian band Tehranosaurus, this is an event not to be missed! This is an outdoor evening event, and temperatures are expected to be cool. Please prepare/dress accordingly (eg. light jackets, blankets, etc.). |
