"Everyday, everything is up in the air." Bleecker Street has revealed the official US trailer for an acclaimed indie film from Iran titled The Friend's House is Here, another rebellious story of artists in Tehran. This premiered at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, where it won the US Dramatic Special Jury Award for Ensemble Cast. It's a US project filmed entirely in Iran, so they premiered it in the US Dramatic section. In Tehran's underground art scene, two women build a blissful world of freedom and sisterhood. But when their creative circle is exposed, they must fight to save each other... Described as a "sophisticated and heroic celebration" made by talented filmmakers who are the "modern day heir to virtuosos Panahi and Kiarostami." Starring Mahshad Bahram, Hana Mana, Farzad Karen, and Zohreh Pirnia. Arriving in the US to watch starting in December this fall during the awards season - they're hoping to get some more attention when it opens. This is a film about how hard it is to resist and be free to create art your way living within such a harsh regime. I have so much respect for these artists! Very good film -entirely worth a watch. // Continue Reading ›
