In September 2022, Mahsa/Zhina Amini, a 22-year-old Kurdish woman, died in police custody in Iran following her arrest by the “morality police” for allegedly violating the country’s compulsory veiling laws. Her death sparked the nationwide “Woman, Life, Freedom” movement against decades of inequality and repression.

In her memory, and to explore the key elements of protest movements in Iran, we invite you to a screening of Dreams Have No Smell (2023), a documentary by Iranian filmmaker Solmaz Gholami tracing the “Woman, Life, Freedom” protests and the Iranian people’s struggle for freedom, justice and human rights.

The screening will be followed by a roundtable discussion with:
• Solmaz Gholami – Film director
• Mitra Sohrabi - Femme Vie Liberté Suisse
• Nadia Boehlen – Amnesty Switzerland
• Javid Tahmassi – Global Campaign to Stop Executions in Iran

🎬 Film in Persian, with English subtitles

📅 24 September 2026
🕖 19:00 (doors open at 18:30)
