NOTES

Title from title frames

A stark testimonial of the previously unseen and unheard, this documentary plunges us into the lives of young teenage girls sharing temporary quarters at a rehabilitation and correction center on the outskirts of Tehran. STARLESS DREAMS is an unforgettable cinematic portrayal of restored innocence and humanity. Winner of the Amnesty International Film Prize at the **Berlin International Film Festival.** Winner of the Best Documentary Award at the **Full Frame Documentary Film Festival.** *"The movie is striking for its glimpses of violent offenders from squalid homes lapsing into the silliness and vulnerability of childhood." - J.R. Jones, **Chicago Reader*** *"The world needs to see this spare, revelatory film and hears these girls' pained and sometimes proud confessions." - Alan Scherstuhl, **Village Voice***
