A ripped-from-the-headlines urgency drives writer-director Parviz Sayyad’s \u003Cem>Checkpoint\u003C/em> as the students split along factional lines in their struggle to reclaim their rights and dignity. Executive producer Mary Apick also leads a committed ensemble cast that never loses sight of the fragile, individual humanity ever at risk amid grand ideological clashes.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>Director/Screenwriter: Parviz Sayyad.

A giant of Iranian cinema, writer-director Parviz Sayyad rose to fame as the star of the commercial \u003Cem>Samad\u003C/em> film and television series before producing some of the key works of the Iranian New Wave, including films by Sohrab Shahid Saless, Ebrahim Golestan and Dariush Mehrjui. Based on a short story by Anton Chekhov, Dead End plays with themes of voyeurism and surveillance in a society on the verge of radical transformation.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>DCP.
