THE CROWD (Jamaat)
Dir: Sahand Kabiri | 70 MIN | 2025 | Iran | Persian

Hamed, an upper middle class Iranian gay, decides to hold an underground party with his friends on the occasion of his partner’s migration in the abandoned garage of their family, but his orthodox brother finds out about his party and tries to stop him.
Filmed independently over 12 days in Tehran under extreme secrecy and personal risk that’s common to Iran’s underground cinema, this work remains largely unknown.
