Maryam Tafakory Presents Daria’s Night Flowers at Project Arts Centre
Maryam Tafakory, an Iranian artist filmmaker residing in the UK and the recipient of the 2024 Film London Jarman Award, is set to showcase her latest film, *Daria’s Night Flowers*, at the Project Arts Centre in Dublin. This film combines found footage with scripted narratives in a fragmented, essay-like format, delving into the portrayal—or lack thereof—of women in post-revolution Iranian cinema. It highlights hidden queer narratives and the representation of desire through unspoken codes. Tafakory's artistry blends poetry with archival and found materials to examine themes of erasure, secrecy, and censorship. A performative lecture and a Q&A session will take place on Saturday, 28 February 2026. Further information will be provided later. The announcement was made by Project Arts Centre.
