As Islamic morality squads stage arbitrary raids in Tehran and as fundamentalists seize hold of the universities, Azar Nafisi, an inspired teacher, secretly gathers six of her most committed female students to read forbidden western classics. Unaccustomed to being asked to speak their minds, they soon remove their veils, their stories intertwining with the novels they read: just like the heroines of Nabokov, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Henry James or Jane Austen, the women in Nafisi's living room dare to dream, hope and love as we experience the complexity of the lives of individuals facing political, moral and personal siege. Reading Lolita in Tehran is a remarkable exploration of women's resilience in revolutionary Iran.&nbsp;
<h4>Persian/English | 1 hr 48 mins</h4>
"This is a stirring, if conventionally-made story of courage and curiosity in the face of oppression."

The Soul of Marvin is a cinematic soul experience that brings Marvin Gaye's catalog roaring back to life through the voice and artistry of Brian Owens. On Saturday, September 5, Owens — whose voice critics have placed firmly in Marvin's lineage — returns to the Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center with a full live band. The night travels from early Motown sweetness through the social conscience of "What's Going On," the Marvin &amp; Tammi duets with Emily Lucas of That Motown Band, the slow burn of "Let's Get It On," and the joyful release of "Got to Give It Up."
