Year: 2025 Country: Iran/U.S./France/Canada Language: Persian with English subtitles Runtime: 107 min. Digital. Color. Family secrets and betrayals explode in the most riveting video call you’ve ever seen. Writer-director Homayoun Ghanizadeh transforms the familiar stacked boxes of talking heads we all live with these days into a dazzling, high-wire act of storytelling and performance when three generations of an Iranian family are confronted by the son of a former family servant over the fate of the stately family home back in Iran. Ghanizadeh’s riveting, all-star ensemble — Golshifteh Farahani, Payman Maadi, Navid Mohammadzadeh, Ali Nasirian, Shirin Neshat — delivers an acting tour de force that deliberately transcends the bounds of the film’s form. DCP. Director/Screenwriter: Homayoun Ghanizadeh. With: Golshifteh Farahani, Shirin Neshat, Navid Mohammadzadeh, Ali Nasirian, Payman Maadi.

Orange County Network: Where Supply Meets Demand: A UCLA Finance & Economics Mixer

Time Thu 6/25 • 5:30PM PDT

Hangar 24 • Irvine CA

Join OC Bruins for a finance and economics networking mixer designed for UCLA alumni whose work touches markets, capital, strategy, analysis or financial decision-making. Whether you work in banking, investment, corporate finance, financial planning, fintech, real estate finance, accounting, economics or a related field, this gathering is an opportunity to meet fellow Bruins with shared professional interests and relevant career experience. The evening will be relaxed and conversational, with no formal program, no pitch deck and no need to forecast interest rates at the door. Just good conversation, new connections and a chance to expand your professional network in a room where supply meets demand. Consider it a small investment in the relationship side of your balance sheet. Registration is $20 and includes light appetizers. Because food orders are part of the evening’s balance sheet, registrations are non-refundable. Bring your perspective, your curiosity and maybe a good market observation or two. The risk is low: a relaxed evening with fellow Bruins. The potential reward: fresh insights, stronger ties and a few contacts worth adding to your long-term portfolio.
