4:00pm: The Sealed Soil

The Sealed Soil follows a young woman living in a poor village who must prepare to move her household after a state-directed construction project is announced. Her life is one of repetitive monotony, made more insufferable by her family’s desire for her to submit to an arranged marriage. A tale of quiet feminist resistance, the film has never screened legally in Iran, and Nabili had to smuggle the footage out of the country and finished editing it in New York. (90 mins., 4K DCP)
