9/8 12:00 pm BLACKBOARDS (***)
Would have rated lower before realizing that the director is only 21. Interesting docu-drama about Iranian school teachers with blackboards strapped to their backs who wander the desolate mountains in search of under-educated Kurdish refugees. Great premise but using non-actors results in stiff performances. Story wears a little thin and drags in places which shouldn't happen in an 85 minute film.
