My Favourite Cake is the new film by Iranian filmmakers Maryam Moghaddam and Behtash Sanaeeha. The film had its world premiere at the Berlin Film Festival, where it received a very positive response from the press and won two awards. The filmmakers themselves were unable to attend the premiere, as they were not granted permission to travel by the Iranian authorities, who view the film as controversial.

Every Tuesday and Saturday you can enjoy one of the newest films with English subtitles.
