About Film:
Tehran Has No More Pomegranates (Tehran Anar Nadarad) is a post-modern feature-length documentary offering a sarcastic and comic portrait of Iran’s capital city, Tehran. Made over the span of five years, the film uses never-before-seen archival footage from the past 120 years, modern images of Tehran, and an amazing soundtrack to show the transformation of the city from a small village into a huge modern megapolis.
As the introduction to the film states, it is “a musical, historical, comedy, docu-drama, love story, experimental film” that uses style and subject to capture the chaotic and paradoxical soul of one of the most wonderful cities of the world. A true treasure awaiting for those who believe that non-fiction can come in many guises!
