Radio Dreams

Streaming video - 2017

A brilliant, misunderstood Iranian writer (played by the “Iranian Bob Dylan” Mohsen Namjoo) - prepares for a triumphant broadcast - a live performance pairing Metallica and Kabul Dreams, Afghanistan’s first rock band. RADIO DREAMS brings to life the sometimes bizarre experience of immigrants pursuing dreams in the U.S. A perfect mixture of honesty, art, and socio-political topicality served up as an ingenious, offbeat transmission. Winner of the Tiger Award at the 2016 **Rotterdam International Film Festival** and nominated for the Louvre d'Or at the **Montréal Festival of New Cinema**. *"There are traces of early Wim Wenders in this story of immigrants adrift in a world not their own, trying to make the best of things.&quo...t;* - Glenn Kenny, ***The New York Times*** *"Jalali has constructed a true comic gem elevated by a deep sense of poignancy."* - Bruce DeMara, ***The Toronto Star***
