Courtesy The Party Film Sales Iranian director, actress and activist Pegah Ahangarani is in Cannes with documentary “Rehearsals for a Revolution,” which sketches Iran‘s failed attempts at self-determination over the past four decades from her personal prism and provides a timely take on the country’s turmoil that goes beyond the headlines.
“Rehearsals for a Revolution,” which bows in the fest’s Special Screenings section, consists of five portraits of the director’s relatives and mentors, including one of her school teachers, representing five expressions of resistance from the early days of 1979, when the Islamic regime started, until the U.S.-Israel-Iran war that started in February.
