Iranian filmmaker Shirin Neshat will make a rare appearance in Providence this month, speaking to audiences in advance of the Rhode Island premiere of her Venice Film Festival Silver Lion Award-winning film, “Women Without Men.” Neshat’s film, part-allegory, part historical drama, chronicles the lives of five women living in Tehran during the British- and American-backed coup of the democratically elected government in 1953. It is based on the novel of the same title by Iranian writer Shahrnush Parsipur. The film’s premiere will take place on Friday, April 23 at 6:30 p.m. in 117 MacMillan Hall, 324 Brook Street, on the Brown University campus. It is the final event of a two-day festival, Women Without Men: Iran Through the Lens of Shirin Neshat and the Words of Four Leading Iranian Fiction Writers.
