nasrineCreated by Tina Gharavi, a film and digital media lecturer in the School of English Literature, Language and Linguistics at Newcastle University, I am Nasrine  follows a young Iranian girl who is sent to the UK after falling foul of the Iranian regime. To film in Iran, Tina and her crew pretended to be shooting a different film and then smuggled the raw footage out of Iran. Tina will be talking about the film and answering questions after the screening.

Tickets £25 – includes wine reception – and all proceeds go to the Newcastle University Women’s Circle, which raises funds to provide bursaries to help provide an education for the brightest and best students, regardless of background.

6.30pm–9.30pm – film starts at 7.30pm. The Lexi, at Kensal Rise, NW10, is the UK’s first social enterprise cinema, where all profits go to charity. It was co-founded by Newcastle graduate Teresa Graham.
