International Media Response to “The Green Wave”
The movie “The Green Wave” by Ali Samadi Ahadi, Artist in Residence at the Käte Hamburger Center for Advanced Study in the Humanities "Law as Culture", which has already won numerous awards, has also received positive reviews from renowned media organizations throughout the world. Using innovative filmic devices, the movie tells about the protests in Iran in the summer of 2009 and how they were suppressed. With the movie now showing in the United States, the New Yorker weekly paper The Village Voice writes: “The Green Wave oscillates between that sort of despair and cautious optimism, ultimately leaning toward the latter in a way that feels earned rather than forced. That Ahadi and his team were able to safely compile, let alone edit together, this much ground-level footage is a feat in and of itself; that it comes together in such a compelling manner makes it almost vital.” (www.villagevoice.com/2012-08-08/film/the-green-wave-film-review/ ; if you would like to follow this link, please copy and paste it into your browser's address bar).
