IN THE BAZAAR OF SEXES Documentary film by Sudabeh Mortezai A 2009, 85 min, colour Farsi with english subtitles www.imbazar-derfilm.at SYNOPSIS A lonesome middle-aged bachelor, a divorced single mother, and a jovial young mullah are the protagonists of this intimate account of gender relations in Iran. Their stories revolve around the institution of temporary marriage, also called lust- marriage, a Shia practice that allows a man and a woman to legally marry for a fixed period of time ranging from one hour to 99 years. Religiously sanctified prostitution or a loophole for couples to have a relationship within the rigid Islamic laws? Religious dogma meets macho sentimentality meets female realities. A relentlessly honest, eye-opening, and sometimes funny account of Islamic sexual and gender politics.

Film is the medium of our age and a further branch of artistic endeavor, yet our society continues to consider it unequal to traditional forms of expression such as opera and theater. Young people in particular tend to take films at face value, distracted by an appa - rent immediacy that hides complexities just below the surface. The audience is in danger of being unable to grasp the essential meaning of film, let alone to recog - nize the manipulative capabilities of the medium.

Sydney Film Festival Announce Full Program for the 4-15 June Festival
MEDIA RELEASE EMBARGOED UNTIL 10:00 WEDNESDAY 7 MAY SYDNEY FILM FESTIVAL ANNOUNCE FULL PROGRAM FOR THE 4-15 JUNE FESTIVAL The 61st Sydney Film Festival program was officially launched today by the NSW Minister for the Arts, Troy Grant. “The New South Wales Government, through Screen NSW and Destination NSW, is very pleased to be again supporting Sydney Film Festival which is also part of Vivid Ideas 2014. Sydney Film Festival is a highlight of the city’s rich arts calendar and an important part of our cultural fabric. The Festival underpins Sydney’s recognition as a UNESCO City of Film, and I look forward to experiencing the Festival this June,” Mr Grant said. “Sydney Film Festival has gone from strength to strength over recent years, with attendances increasing over 23% since 2011 to 143,000,” said SFF Festival Director Nashen Moodley. “SFF not only presents the best films from across the country and around the world, but we also open up dialogue between the creators and audiences and curators and critics alike, in every direction and combination. Together in a crowded theatre, comedies are funnier, horror films are scarier and tender moments bring tears more readily; everything we feel is amplified by the power of the shared experience.” Direct from its world premiere screening at the Cannes Film Festival, SFF and Vivid Ideas are proud to present the Australian Premiere of the highly anticipated futuristic thriller The Rover and host the director David Michôd and key talent Guy Pearce and Robert Pattinson at the State Theatre on Saturday 7 June.
