Silence of the Sea, a poignant study of displacement and one of the most successful Iranian films of the new millennium, finally received a theatrical release in Los Angeles at the Vine Theater on April 25th.
The film, written and directed by talented Iranian filmmaker Vahid Mousaian, has been selected for more than thirty international film festivals, among them Manheim and Sundance, and has received six international awards. The film has garnered praise from a number of the most notable film publications from around the world, including Variety, in which Robert Kohler, in a long article, called the film “high-end Iranian work” and “exquisitely directed.” Scott Foundas wrote in LA Weekly that “Mousaian has a sensitive approach.”
Silence of the Sea was produced by Bahman Maghsoudlou (IFVC) and Rouhollah Baradari (Tuba Film), and was shot in Sweden and Qeshm Island in the Persian Gulf.
