SUMMARY:On View: That Night by Hoda Sobhani
DESCRIPTION:That Night by UC Santa Cruz alum Hoda Sobhani will be on view in our screening room until August 16th\, 2026. \n\n\n\nAbout the film:\n\n\n\nIn mid-October 2022\, a chilling event at Iran’s notorious Evin prison captured global attention. Following the death of Mahsa Jina Amini in September 2022\, which incited widespread protests\, thousands were incarcerated. This surge in arrests resulted in one of Evin prison’s most congested periods in modern Iranian history. The uncertainty inside Evin led to intense anxiety for many\, with concerns for the safety of their loved ones. \n\n\n\n“That Night” delves into the harrowing experiences of the inmates during that period\, spotlighting the experience of Sobhani’s friend Neda. As the world outside remained oblivious to their ordeal\, the prisoners faced agonizing moments of fear. They grappled with the disturbing sounds of gunshots and the sting of tear gas. Through Neda’s story\, the documentary provides a detailed insight into Evin’s cells\, her co-inmates’ emotional turmoil\, and their desperate attempt to find a glimmer of hope amidst the chaos. \n\n\n\nBeyond this immediate narrative\, the film explores broader themes surrounding women\, life\, and the women’s movement in Iran. It shines a light on the relentless spirit of those striving for freedom even within the confines of a prison. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHoda Sobhani is an award-winning filmmaker from Iran. Her recent short\, animated documentary\, That Night\, has screened at major international festivals\, including DOC NYC\, Hot Docs\, Dallas International Film Festival\, where it received the Grand Jury Prize for Best Animated Short\, Santa Barbara International Film Festival\, and Annecy International Animation Film Festival. \n\n\n\nHoda holds an MFA in Social Documentation from the University of California\, Santa Cruz\, an MA in Cinema Studies from Sooreh University in Tehran\, and a BA in Theatre Directing from University of Tehran. Prior to moving to the United States\, she directed three short films in Iran focusing on women’s daily lives.
