Join us for the next screening in our 2025 Monsoon Film Series, where we explore the complex intersections of family, culture, and personal truth through international cinema.

This May, we’ll be showing A Separation, a critically acclaimed Iranian film that delves into the emotional turmoil of a family caught between duty, justice, and heartbreak. As caregiving responsibilities and personal conflicts collide, the story unravels into a gripping journey of difficult decisions and moral ambiguity.

This screening is intended for mature audiences due to its intense themes. Stick around after the film for a brief facilitated conversation to unpack the story’s relevance to our own lives and communities.
