The film follows the young singer Seti, who refuses to accept the fact that women in Iran are not allowed to perform in public. In defiance of her country's religious laws, she decides to sing in the street. Her performances quickly gain in popularity, and Seti becomes a star for a young generation that no longer wants to be oppressed by the regime.
Elsewhere, British filmmaker Mark Jenkin will screen his new short film I Saw the Face of God in the Jet Wash. The film will play in the festival's Imagina section.

28 Years Later's Teen Star Names 1 Scene That 'Creeped Me Out' During Filming
28 Years Later's young lead Alfie Williams has opened up about the scene from the movie that was most unsettling to film. Alfie was just 13 when he shot 28 Years Later and its upcoming sequel The Bone Temple, and as a result, several allowances had to be made on set to protect him from the films' grisly content. During a conversation with Interview magazine, Alfie was asked if he was 'grossed out' on set, to which he insisted: 'You get used to the infected pretty quick. I think it took a couple of days and then you could kind of ignore it and it was fine after that.' However, he did say there was one scene that 'creeped me out', involving an 'infected' woman who gave birth on a train. 'It creeped [me] out, but it was beautiful at the same time to see how they're infected, but they're still like us, because they were once humans,' he claimed. 'But I think Danny knew I was mature enough to see things like that. They did try and keep [me] away from it, but they were fine with [me] seeing stuff like that.' It was previously revealed that, because of Alfie's age, any nudity in the film – most notably from the 'Alphas' – had to be achieved through the use of prosthetics. 28 Years' Later's intimacy coordinator Vanessa Coffey recently gave an interview with Variety about how the set had to adapt due to Alfie's age. Vanessa was specifically asked about the birth scene, explaining: 'That was part of the conversation. It was like, which bits does [Alfie] need to see, which bits does he have to watch and which bits can we keep him out of the way. 'But it was an incredible prosthetic that was created for that scene. We had spoken through unmedicated births and what that would look or feel like, just to make it really raw and really realistic. So having a young person witness that – we were really careful about how the conversations were managed.' Filmmaker Danny Boyle has made no secret of his hopes that 28 Years Later will begin a new big-screen trilogy, the second instalment of which is already slated for release next year. 17 Behind-The-Scenes Secrets You Probably Didn't Know About How 28 Years Later Was Made 28 Years Later Viewers Are Still In Shock From That Teletubbies Callback In The Wild Final Scene 28 Years Later 'Alpha' Chi Lewis-Parry Answers Everyone's 1 Big Question About The Film

Cressida Cowell Loves to Peruse Recipes Before Bed
In an email interview, the writer and illustrator explained why she's tailored the new book, 'Doom of the Darkwing,' to visually sophisticated children. SCOTT HELLER Can a great book be badly written? What other criteria can overcome bad prose? Reading is like eating, you can have a varied diet and enjoy it all. And 'great' is of course subjective. But a book that stands the test of time is usually one with the perfect words for its audience: 'Middlemarch' and 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' are both exemplars of that in very different ways. What's the last great book you read? 'John & Paul,' by Ian Leslie, a fascinating account of the creative relationship between John Lennon and Paul McCartney. What kind of reader were you as a child? I spent all my summers on an island in Scotland with no television, and I read anything I could get my hands on. Ursula K. Le Guin's 'A Wizard of Earthsea,' anything by Diana Wynne Jones or Tolkien, the 'Oz' books by L. Frank Baum, Lloyd Alexander's 'The Book of Three,' Laura Ingalls Wilder's 'Little House on the Prairie' and Louisa May Alcott's 'Little Women' were particular favorites. Have you ever gotten in trouble for reading a book? My mother didn't like me reading Enid Blyton books because she thought they were badly written. I took them all out of the library and read them anyway. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
