Hit the Road

Part of the UCLA Film & Television Archive annual Celebration of Iranian Cinema. Register at cinema.ucla.edu to attend this in-theater screening.

In his feature debut, writer-director Panah Panahi (son of Jafar Panahi) spins something wonderful from an activity best known for its exacerbations: the family road trip.  At each rest stop, Panahi reveals more of the thriller entangled with his intimate family portrait but in the end it’s the drama of the everyday that wins out—the longing, the hope and the hurt of parents sending their kid off into the world on their own. Registration is required via the UCLA Film & Television Archive website, and tickets must be picked up at the box office. Hammer members receive priority ticketing until 15 minutes before showtime.
