Women Make Waves International Film Festival

Program

The House is Black

Forough FARROKHZAD 1963 Iran Documentary b/w 22min Persian DCP
The only film directed by the trailblazing feminist Iranian poet finds unexpected grace where few would think to look: a leper colony. A key forerunner of the Iranian New Wave and a triumph of transcendent lyricism from a visionary artist whose influence is vital in Iran and beyond.
