Kino Lorber Acquires Bold Iranian Drama 'Manuscripts Don't Burn'

After censorship, a jail sentence, and a 20-year prohibition from filmmaking, defiant director Mohammad Rasoulof returned to brave new work with "Manuscripts Don't Burn," a charged political thriller that draws on real events surrounding censorship and oppression in Iran. Kino Lorber has announced that it has picked up all US distribution rights to the work, which was a secret project until its arrival on the festival circuit at last year's Cannes Film Festival.

Filmed without federal permission (like his last film "Goodbye" in 2012), "Manuscripts Don't Burn" chronicles the story of Kasra, an Iranian author who confronts brutality and censorship when he tries to leave the country with his secretly-written memoirs. After screening at last year's Cannes and the Toronto International Film Festival, it is now slated for a one-week theatrical premiere at the Museum of Modern Art in June. Later this year, Kino Lorber will release the film on VOD, home media, and the educational market.

Mother of Trayvon Martin to speak at Kansas State

Sybrina Fulton, the mother of teen shooting victim Trayvon Martin, will speak at the Kansas State University Student Union on Tuesday, April 22.

Martin, 17, was fatally shot by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman in February of 2012. Rallies and marches followed the teens death, prompting prosecutors to charge Zimmerman with second-degree murder and manslaughter. Zimmerman was acquitted of the charges in July, 2013.

Since her sons death, Fulton has become an advocate, speaking at college campuses and co-founding the Trayvon Martin Foundation, which seeks to raise awareness of gun violence.

Fulton will speak at 7 p.m. in Forum Hall. The event coordinator, Brandon Clark, said it will be educational and thought-provoking.

The Trayvon Martin case was huge, Clark said in a news release. Whenever its brought up, it stirs certain emotions and gets people to talk and debate. This debate is about understanding why we believe what we believe. It is about being open-minded.

The event is free and open to the public. It is sponsored by the Student Governing Association and Alpha Phi Alpha, a historically black fraternity.
