FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Iranian-American Terror Suspect To Screen Iran Film at NYU
New York, NY -- March 25, 2009 -- Muslim-American filmmaker Justin
Mashouf will be screening his feature documentary, "Warring Factions,"
on March 25th as a part of the annual New York University Shuruq
Festival. 24 year old Mashouf will be screening the 70 minute
documentary in addition to speaking about his experiences in Iran, his
detention by Homeland Security and the confiscation of his video
footage on suspicion of terrorism.

"Warring Factions" is Mashouf's first feature length documentary.
Filming began in April 2007, capturing his experiences as a multi-
ethnic Iranian American exploring his Muslim identity in a post 9/11
world. In the wake of rising international tensions, he is cornered
into answering the question, "Where is your loyalty, America or
Iran?" Shot in both countries, Mashouf's journey throughout the film
uses his love for break dancing as a way of bridging an American
culture with Iranian youth. Additionally, he becomes a student of the
traditional Iranian martial art of "Varzesh Bastani" and seeks to
understand the sentiments of the religious conservative generation of
Iran's 1979 Islamic Revolution.

As voices in the Obama administration deliberate their official Iran
policy and media outlets have fueled the perception of a nuclear
standoff, "Warring Factions" is a call to (dis)arms. By combining
documentary and studio reenactments, Mashouf looks at the blurring of
world borders, and the looming threat of another war in the Middle
East.
