THRESHOLDS OF MASCULINITY presents films that transcend stereotypical depictions of Iranian male identity. While the heightened marginalization of women in Iran since the 1979 revolution has detrimentally affected all aspects of their daily lives, men have traditionally faced far fewer restrictions. As women continue to defy and push against these imposed barriers, many Iranian men are left questioning their own place within the shifting landscapes of their society. Amir Azizi, Farid Haji, Andy Sarjahani, and Vahid Vakilifar’s films engage with these male experiences, both in Iran and the American diaspora.
