Terrestrial Verses is a 2023 film directed by Ali Asgari and Alireza Khatami.[1][2]
Synopsis[edit]
Iranians try to assert their rights in their country's system, whether it is the administration or the school, in work relationships or the procedures of everyday life.
Through these nine stories set in Tehran, the overwhelming weight of politics and religion in the service of power comes to light and is denounced.
Production and distribution[edit]
Asgari and Khatami worked on the script together, but had difficulty finding a producer and ultimately produced the film at their own expense with financial support from friends. The film was then shot within seven days.[3]
The film premiered on May 23, 2023, in Cannes, after which it was shown on October 4, 2023, at the BFI Film Festival in London, on October 19, 2023, in the USA during the Chicago International Film Festival and at other international film festivals. The cinema release in Germany was April 11, 2024.[4]
