Women’s Health Grampians, WRISC Family Violence Support and the Ballarat Regional Multicultural Council present a special International Women’s Day Screening of “Shayda”.
“Australian-Iranian writer/director Noora Niasari’s feature debut Shayda, which premiered at Sundance and has opened this year’s Melbourne international film festival, is a deeply engrossing, gradually escalating drama about a mother and daughter rebuilding their lives during a stay in a women’s shelter. It’s a film with airtight verisimilitude: you don’t doubt its authenticity for a moment. Tension is skilfully sustained throughout and the drama has a pressurising effect, the air intensifying in a long, slow rise towards crescendo, Niasari never quite releasing the pressure valve and never taking the easy route.” The Guardian
