The numerous interviews she conducts over a period of six years with filmmakers Jafar Panahi, Mohammad Shirvani and human rights activist Nasrin Sotudeh, among others, show the precarious situation in which critics of the regime find themselves, including the constant threat of imprisonment and being banned from practising their profession. With a keen eye for unusual situations, she documents the effect of the Islamic Republic’s strict and omnipresent censorship on the daily lives of Iranian women whose uncompromising struggle has put them at the forefront of the protests that are currently rocking the country. And, Towards Happy Alleys is a passionate declaration of love for the cinema and poetry of Iran which also provides a frank view of daily life, and bears witness to a fearless generation raising its voice and implacably demanding its civil liberties.

Derided by the science community, Weber worked nearly alone to answer one of the great questions of science: could we “hear” the universe through gravitational waves, much like we “see” the universe through electromagnetic waves? Could the same passion to explore the unknown become his undoing? This was a quest that consumed him up to his death. Including interviews with Nobel Laureates Kip Thorne and Ray Weiss, psychologist Steven Pinker, astrophysicist Nergis Mavalvala, Janna Levin and others. This feature length documentary inspires audiences to see their world differently and feel the thin divide between passion and reason. <img width="640" height="427" width_o="640" height_o="427" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/257b342449f13fd1da809c2e79886e191d14272566a966ff62befc786d99dc96/_5WS7864.jpeg" data-mid="133027477" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/640/i/257b342449f13fd1da809c2e79886e191d14272566a966ff62befc786d99dc96/_5WS7864.jpeg" /> The Mission https://mastermechanicfilms.com/The-Mission Wed, 12 Jan 2022 15:40:08 +0000 Master Mechanic Films https://mastermechanicfilms.com/The-Mission The Mission The Gaza Collective dir / Mike Lerner, producer / Hussain Currimbhoy, executive producer / on release In the darkest days of the ongoing Palestinian genocide, acclaimed British-Iraqi nerve surgeon Dr. Mohammad Tahir embarks on his third humanitarian mission to Gaza.

The Beloved https://mastermechanicfilms.com/The-Beloved Thu, 10 Feb 2022 15:48:59 +0000 Master Mechanic Films https://mastermechanicfilms.com/The-Beloved THE BELOVED Documentary / Joseph London, dir / Hussain Currimbhoy, executive producer / Australia / 2021 / 260 mins The Beloved is a portrait of a group of individual spiritual seekers, all of whom once followed a mysterious calling and surrendered themselves and their way of life to a man and a belief in his vision. Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh or Osho as he is now known, was a controversial spiritual teacher from India who took disciples or ‘sannyasins’ from all over the world during the seventies and eighties. The Beloved focuses on sannyasins and ex-sannyasins from the port city of Fremantle, Western Australia, where in 1981, the group established a large ‘satellite’ commune and ashram in the center of town. The sannyasin living experiment set in motion fundamental changes to existing social structures and identities; new names, new appearance - orange and red clothing only - and a completely new focus: a ‘master’ and the promise of enlightenment. In their vision for a higher consciousness revolution, the movement experienced a spectacular and public rise and fall in the space of only a few years, with the sannyasin headquarters in Oregon U.S.A. and the satellite commune in Fremantle both collapsing. Many sannyasins found themselves lost ‘in the world’, left to deal with the fallout of having cut family ties, sold off inheritances, and dropped out of the wider community and workforce. This is an epic meditation on the audacious living experiment and untold aftermath of the Rajneesh sannyasins in Fremantle, told by sannyasins and ex-sannyasins in intimate and, at times, harrowing detail. It is a contemplative listening experience of different voices and perspectives, presented over the changing backdrop of Fremantle - its cyclical events, weather pattens and light - as well as rare or personal archive. <img width="3584" height="2240" width_o="3584" height_o="2240" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3ea9d01ce45228999ca2714c310fe49ff0935770c8107eeef5abeb1fe15937b9/The-Beloved_Bhagwan.png" data-mid="133595641" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3ea9d01ce45228999ca2714c310fe49ff0935770c8107eeef5abeb1fe15937b9/The-Beloved_Bhagwan.png" /> Tomorrow's Freedom https://mastermechanicfilms.com/Tomorrow-s-Freedom Thu, 10 Feb 2022 15:49:54 +0000 Master Mechanic Films https://mastermechanicfilms.com/Tomorrow-s-Freedom TOMORROW’S FREEDOM Release date | 06/20/2022 Country | UK  Running time | 97 minutes Dir | Georgia and Sophia Scott Prod | Sawsan Asfari Cinematography | Georgia and Sophia Scott  Camera Operator | Hamoudi Trad  EP| Brian Eno / Hussain Currimbhoy / Tony Tabatznik  ED | Simon Barker / Christine Pancott / Georgia Scott / Vera Simmonds  Sound Mixer | Ben Newth  Music | Brian Eno / Massive Attack Distrib | Reservoir Docs / Mad solutions  ︎︎ Website: https://sheffdocfest.com/film/marwan-tomorrows-freedom A portrait of Palestinian political leader and activist, Marwan Barghouti.
