#53. Circumstance - Maryam Keshavarz I could have sworn that Maryam Keshavarz's Circumstance had had a world preem at Locarno, but no - it'll be ready for the 2011 film festival season. Look for the Sundance Institute’s 2007 Screenwriters Lab participant to showcase her feature debut in Park City - specifically in the World Dramatic Comp. Then it could easily go to Rotterdam, where it received the Hubert Bals Fund or Berlin where the film/filmmaker was part of the Talent Campus. This tells the story of how a single event – a soldier’s death at the Iran/Iraq border – irrevocably connects the lives of four people across continents. Through the telling of a love triangle between three teenagers, Circumstance explores the multifaceted and destructive repression that continues to confront Iran's new generation. * Producers: Karin Chien (The Motel), Antonin Dedet and Melissa M.
