Maryam Keshavarz, director of Circcumstance: “There were screaming matches. One woman said: ‘This film is such bullshit – it doesn’t look like Iran, smell like Iran, taste like Iran.’ I didn’t even have a chance to reply when this woman in her 20s stood up and shouted at the older woman: ‘I just came from Iran and it’s people like you who are ruining our country because you deny the reality.'”
