Sydney Film Festival: Appropriate Behaviour

Written, directed and starring Desiree Akhavan APPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR is Akhavan's debut feature and it premiered at Sundance Film Festival 2014. For Shirin, being part of a perfect Persian family isnt easy. Acceptance eludes her from all sides: her family doesnt know shes bisexual, and her ex-girlfriend, Maxine, cant understand why she doesnt tell them. Even the six-year-old boys in her moviemaking class are too ADD to focus on her for more than a second. Following a family announcement of her brothers betrothal to a parentally approved Iranian prize catch, Shirin embarks on a private rebellion involving a series of pansexual escapades, while trying to decipher what went wrong with Maxine. (K.Y.) In an interview with SBS Persian Radio, Desiree Akhavan speaks about herself, her first feature film and future plans.
