The first screening, on Friday, September 11, will feature "Persepolis" by Marjane Satrapi and Vincent Paronnaud, introduced by illustrator and writer Clara Não.

Curated and organized by professor Pedro Flores.

Synopsis: *Persepolis* is the story of a girl growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution—an autobiographical tale by Marjane Satrapi that originated as a four-volume graphic novel series. Through the eyes of the fearless nine-year-old Marjane, we witness a people's hope shattered as fundamentalists seize power, forcing women to wear the veil and imprisoning thousands. Intelligent and outgoing, Marjane manages—despite the restrictions—to discover punk culture, ABBA, and Iron Maiden.
