A Late Quartet"Centered around four outstanding performances, Yaron Zilberman's fiction-feature debut feels like the work of a filmmaker who knows and appreciates the art form under scrutiny, laying a credible foundation for a story that lays bare the often melodramatic passions of the artistic soul."

Inspired by and structured around Beethoven's Opus 131 String Quartet in C-sharp minor, the film pays homage to chamber music and the cultural world of New York and stars Philip Seymour Hoffman, Catherine Keener and Christopher Walken.

The Green Wave“Global Watch: Crisis, Culture and Human Rights 2012” "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." (Village Voice) How to cover a burgeoning revolution in a nation where pointing a camera the wrong way can mean a ticket to prison? Ali Samadi Ahadi’s solution: Take on-the-ground reporting from Twitter feeds, blogs, and cell-phone cameras; add interviews with protest organizers for context; and create vivid animation to depict events that could not be captured live. The result is a lively, and deeply human portrait of a people who will not abandon hope.
