‘Starless Dreams’ 7th on US magazine 2017 list

American magazine The Village Voice has ranked Iran doc ‘Starless Dreams’ 7th  on its list of 25 top films of 2017 worldwide.

Directed by Mehrdad Oskouei, the American magazine listed the flick 7 among the best 25 world movies in 2017 and placed it higher than outstanding films such as The Post directed by Steven Spielberg.

The 76-minute ‘Starless Dreams’ is Oskouei’s second documentary showing young women in an Iranian juvenile detention center reflecting on the crimes they have committed and the circumstances that have shaped their lives.

The movie has grabbed a number of prestigious awards and titles from various global film events. Just in 2016, the film won the Amnesty International Film Prize at the 66th Internationale Filmfestspiele Berlinale-Generation 14plus in Germany as well as the True Vision Award at the 13th True/False Film Festival in the US.
