The Crowd

Sahand KABIRI

Iran 2025 70 min Farsi
Aram Tahmasbi

Hamed, a middle-class Iranian, decides to throw a massive underground party with his friends to mark his partner’s departure – in his family’s abandoned garage.
What is this Tehran we never see with a nightlife in full swing ? Sahand Kabiri’s debut feature captures the raw, unfiltered reality of Iranian youth with a boldness rarely – if ever – seen on screen.
