Women on Both Sides of the Camera

Released: 2019Runtime: 95 min

Documentary

After the Islamic revolution of 1978 in Iran and the transformation of the political structure of the country, new censorship codes were introduced which were mostly aiming at the elimination of women and to push them to the background. However, the new restrictions didn't stop women from making films. In her autobiographical film essay, Afshar as a filmmaker in exile takes us into her garden shed and narrates one century of resistance of the Iranian women filmmakers who gave life to the sublime, lustrous art form of cinema.
