Ten

INHALT

Ten (Persian: ده, romanized: Dah; appears as 10 during the opening credits) is a 2002 Iranian docufiction film starring Mania Akbari and Amina Maher. It was released with Abbas Kiarostami credited as the director; however, his role in the film and the source of the footage have been disputed by Akbari since 2020. The film premiered May 20, 2002 at the 55th Cannes Film Festival, where it was nominated for the Palme d'Or. It received positive reviews from film critics. Due to its discussion of discrimination against women, Ten was banned in Iran. The film's two lead actresses have made calls for the distributor to stop screening it, over allegations of plagiarism and abuse by Kiarostami.
