Persian Film Club

College of Liberal Arts

Nahid Siamdoust on the cover of FILM INTERNATIONAL magazine

Initiated in 2020, Persian Film Club presents Persian-language documentaries, short films, and feature-length narrative films subtitled in English on a monthly basis throughout the Fall and Spring semesters. The UT students, staff, and faculty will have access to the streaming link of a documentary for at least a week, followed by a meeting with the filmmaker or faculty members from the Persian program to discuss the film in English and Persian.

Many Persian language films, including films discussed in the Persian Film Club, can be watched through our institutional subscription to the site edu.docunight.com.

If you are interested in joining Persian Film Club and receiving the links to the movies, please contact the Persian Program Coordinator, Dr. Babak Tabarraee.
