WOMEN WITHOUT MEN

With the cinematic adaptation of Shahrnush Parsipur’s magic realist novel, acclaimed Iranian artist Shirin Neshat made her powerful directorial debut. Women Without Men captures the critical moment when the hopes of a nation were crushed by foreign powers, which directly led to the Islamic Revolution of 1979 and the Iran we know today.

The film masterfully unfolds Neshat’s highly poetic and politically charged images and deservedly earned her the 2009 Venice Film Festival Silver Lion for best directing.

Posten Moderne presents …

For 2024, Posten Moderne has collaborated with Kosmorama Trondheim International Film Festival on a specially curated film program. Taking inspiration from the festival's program series New Directors, Posten Moderne presents... is a selection of debut feature films by internationally renowned visual artists. The selected artists represent different generations, and each shows how visual artists can help to push the boundaries of the feature film medium. Experience these masterful and distinctive films on the big screen in central Norway for the very first time!

Posten Moderne is Trondheim's new museum for modern and contemporary art. The museum is currently being established in the city's former main post office at Dronningens gate 10, an iconic Art Nouveau building from 1911 by the native architect Karl Norum. The museum plans to open in the first quarter of 2025 and will present a changing exhibition program of renowned historical and contemporary artists in addition to the museum's permanent collection. Until the museum building is complete, Posten Moderne will present various artistic projects in public arenas in Trondheim. The collaboration with Kosmorama is the first of this year's projects.
