Variety has been given exclusive access to the trailer for Shirin Neshat and Shoja Azari’s satirical, surrealistic film “Land of Dreams,” which opens the Horizons Extra section of the Venice Film F…

. The filmmakers won the Silver Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival for their first feature film, “Women Without Men.”

“Land of Dreams” is a satirical story, with a surreal, dreamlike quality reminiscent of Buñuel’s films. It takes place in the near future in a small town in America, and follows Simin, an Iranian woman on a journey to discover what it means to be a free American. Simin soon meets Mark, a drifter, a free soul, and a poet, who declares his love for her at first sight, and Alan, a cynical cowboy turned detective, full of machismo and the American spirit of adventure.

Neshat and Azari came to the U.S. to escape the repression of Iran’s totalitarian regime, but Neshat is concerned about a shift in mood within their adopted country. “Like many other immigrants, I have personally considered America as a place of democracy, compassion, a nation that welcomes the displaced, a country that has been built by the blood of immigrants,” she says. “But these days, as many other Americans, we have become disillusioned with the new shift in the country.

The US is now also blamed, that Afghanian refugees are also in Iran. So, you should firstly ask, if a critic implies also an reflexive view of things, which propaganda never do.
