Iran | 78 min | NR | DCP | Dir. Reza Dormishian **NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE** Mat and Emily have both lost their families in Christchurch earthquake and they live alone. They are in love though they never dare to talk to each other, however, this relation has been formed in their minds. “One of the best experiences that can occur with a movie buff when following a film festival is to be surprised by a movie that was completely off their radar. And that is exactly what happened to me with ‘White Chairs’, a co-production between Iran and New Zealand.” Observatorio Do Cinema   Organized by: Wisconsin Iranian Film Festival In collaboration with: WUD Film Committee   This event is  funded in part by ASM in a viewpoint neutral manner.
