Vidiots, Los Angeles
**Screenwriters**: Marjane Satrapi, Vincent Paronnaud **Producers**: Xavier Rigault, Marc-Antoine Robert Vidiots remembers the life, legacy, and creativity of the extraordinary **Marjane Satrapi** with a special screening of the animated masterpiece Persepolis! Join Vidiots for *Persepolis* – the poignant story of a young girl coming-of-age in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. A breathtaking and powerful film based on Marjane Satrapi’s revolutionary autobiographical graphic novel with beautiful black and white animation, *Persepolis* shines as one of the most important animated films of the century. It is through the eyes of precocious and outspoken nine-year-old Marjane that we see a people’s hopes dashed as fundamentalists take power — forcing the veil on women and imprisoning thousands. Clever and fearless, she outsmarts the “social guardians” and discovers punk, ABBA and Iron Maiden. So embrace your inner rebellion and join us for this special screening.
