NEON, the Acropolis Museum and Cinobo present a special open-air screening of Persepolis (2007), the animated film adaptation of Marjane Satrapi’s autobiographical comic book. The screening is part of the public program for the exhibition Allspice | Michael Rakowitz and Ancient Cultures, held at Cine Paris.

Using a distinctive black-and-white animation with personal storytelling, Persepolis portrays Satrapi’s youth in Iran during the Islamic Revolution and her later experiences in exile. The film explores themes of identity, resistance, and the impact of political unrest on personal freedom. It has received international recognition, including the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival and an Academy Award nomination for Best Animated Feature.
