Tatami
LuxFilmLab is back on Wednesday 4 September at 8pm at Ciné Utopia with the biopic TATAMI by Zar Amir Ebrahimi and Guy Nattiv.
Directed by Zar Amir Ebrahimi (Best Actor at Cannes for HOLY SPIDER in 2022) and Guy Nattiv (Oscar winner for his short film SKIN in 2018), TATAMI had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival and got the Brian Prize. A special reward for films that defends freedom of expression, human rights and democracy.
Iranian female judoka Leila (Arienne Mandy) and her coach Maryam (Zar Amir Ebrahimi), who travel to the Judo World Championship, intent on bringing home Iran's first gold medal. Midway through the competition, they receive an ultimatum from the Islamic Republic ordering Leila to fake an injury and lose. With her own and her family's freedom at stake, Leila is faced with an impossible choice: feign injury and comply with the Iranian regime as Maryam implores her to do, or defy them both and fight on, for the gold.
Tickets for our new LuxFilmLab are available on the Kinepolis webshop at the regular rates at Ciné Utopia.
