Noone Knows About Persian Cats (Kasi Az Gorbehayeh Irani Khabar Nadareh)
Filmed in seventeen days under the eyes of disapproving authorities, No One Knows About
Persian Cats is an eye-opening account of the underground music scene in Tehran. Inspired by true
events, it follows musicians Negar and Ashkan as they strive to assemble a rock/heavy metal band in a society where playing western music is a crime and women are forbidden to perform any kind of music. Desperate to obtain passports and visas for the band, the duo meet music promoter Nader and the film becomes a fast-paced odyssey through the streets of Tehran blending dark humour and stark drama with the authenticity of a documentary.
