Offside

  • The Landmark Centre 129 High Street Deal, England, CT14 6BB United Kingdom (map)

Women are banned from soccer matches in Iran and arrested if they’re caught there. Offside is a high spirited comedy that sees young female footie fans disguise themselves as males so they can slip into Tehran's stadium to watch a World Cup qualifier.

Inspired by director Jafar Panahi’s own daughter, this 2006 film was shot in Iran but never shown there. It’s still banned in Iran today.

Tickets £10 includes a drink (beer / wine/ soft) and a 'special knocker pasty' made by the award-winning Jill Martin of The Town Kitchen.

Doors & refreshments from 7pm. Film starts 7.30pm

With thanks to Deal Town Council for its continued support, and for its sponsorship of this film.
