FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Iranian-American Terror Suspect To Screen Iran Film at NYU
New York, NY -- March 25, 2009 -- Muslim-American
filmmaker Justin Mashouf will be screening his feature documentary,
"Warring Factions," on March 25th as a part of the annual New York
University Shuruq Festival. Mashouf will be screening the 70 minute
documentary in addition to speaking about his experiences in Iran, his
detention by Homeland Security and the confiscation of his video
footage on suspicion of terrorism.
"Warring Factions" is Mashouf's first feature length documentary. Filming began in April 2007, capturing his experiences as a multi-ethnic Iranian
American exploring his Muslim identity in two opposing countries he
calls home. In the wake of rising international tensions, he is
cornered into answering the question, "Where is your loyalty, America
or Iran?" Shot in both countries, Mashouf's journey throughout the film
uses his love for break dancing as a way of bridging an American
culture with Iranian youth. Additionally, he becomes a student of the
traditional Iranian martial art of "Varzesh Bastani" and seeks to
understand the sentiments of the religious conservative generation of
Iran's 1979 Islamic Revolution.
As forces in American government and media have fueled the perception of
an unavoidable war with Iran, "Warring Factions" is a call to
(dis)arms. By combining documentary and studio reenactments, Mashouf
looks at the blurring of world borders, and the looming threat of
another war in the Middle East.
