Herfeh: Mostanad
Book Tickets
In the context of recent political, economic and cultural upheavals in Iran, the filmmakers who collaborated on this film create a diaristic account of nationhood and the notion of identity through the prism of their own experiences, all set to a soundtrack of music banned by the state. Shirin discusses a ‘silent’ war in Tehran that goes unreported. Firouzeh articulates her fear of creative censorship; Farahnaz laments how music has disappeared from public life since women were forbidden to sing; Mina regrets the loss of friends who have moved abroad; Sepideh highlights the correlation between personal loss and the inception of the Iranian Revolution; Sahar reflects on life from a prison cell, and Nahid shares her hopes for the future.
