Persepolis: Los Angeles Screening in November

by Amy Malek - Mon, 15 Oct 2007 16:29:54 -0700

Don’t you hate it when film reviewers employ stale cliches about films, like,”You’ll laugh; you’ll cry…”? I do, too. Yet here I am, only having watched the trailer and “Making of Persepolis” (available on the film’s beautiful website), and I know for a fact that when I finally see Persepolis on November 10th, […]

Kiosk: Interview with Babak Khiavchi, Guitar

by Sepideh Saremi - Sat, 13 Oct 2007 18:22:24 -0700

So how long have you been with the band?
Seventeen years, since the beginning.

I’m eighteen years old.
So you’re all child prodigies. Why is the band’s name Kiosk?

by Sepideh Saremi - Sat, 13 Oct 2007 17:38:56 -0700
