The Friend's House is Here (2026)

Film · 2026 · 97 min · Drama

In Tehran’s underground art scene, Pari, a theater director, and Hanna, a dancer, are roommates, best friends, actors, and professional partners, navigating rehearsals, performances, and the quiet rituals of everyday life—until their secret circle is discovered. Shot covertly but far removed from familiar portrayals of Iran, directors Maryam Ataei and Hossein Keshavarz blur the boundaries between theatrical performance and lived experience, crafting a luminous portrait of sisterhood where art becomes inseparable from life and even the smallest creative choices can become acts of resistance. Winner of the US Dramatic Special Jury Award for Ensemble Cast at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival.

Directed by Hossein Keshavarz

Starring Mahshad Bahram, Hana Mana, Farzad Karen, Zohreh Pirnia, Parham Ghanavat, Erfan Tehranifar, Ali yar ahmadi, Farzad Namavari
