On the first Tuesday of every month, Georgia Tech’s Iranian Studies Initiative screens a documentary film selected by Kiarostami Foundation’s Docunight program. These films made by Iranians or made about, around, or in Iran are selected to give audiences a deeper understanding of Iran via documentaries. Docunight screenings take place in more than 25 cities in North America. Atlanta’s first Docunight was held in March 2019 and has been gradually growing since.

Georgia Tech Docunight screenings are free and open to everyone. All screenings will have English subtitles.
