#FILM: Persian Powder

Persian Powder

Endless powder fields and a magnitude of potential lines aren’t immediately what you may think of when talking about Iran.

This film tells the story of Iranian pro snowboarder Mona Seraji who invites two fellow snowboarders from Australia, Amber Arazny and Michaela Davis-Meehan, to come discover the wonderful mountains of Iran.

Mountainfilm says, “One of the unique delights of this endearing short film, in addition to glimpses of a country and culture we hear so little about (and rarely anything positive), is that fretted lutes, ancient Persian percussions and haunting Farsi vocals perfectly counterweight the very modern, very cool, hip-hop segments of the musical score.”

The film was an official selection at Mountainfilm 2018, Flagstaff Mountain Film Festival 2018 and Freeride Film Festival 2018.
