Filmmaking in Exile
MY STOLEN PLANET
Iran, Deutschland 2024 – Director: Farahnaz Sharifi – Original version with English subtitles – Length: 82 min.
As early as 8 March 1979, shortly after the Islamic revolution, Iranian women protested against the compulsory wearing of headscarves. MY STOLEN PLANET acts as a reminder of their on-going struggle for freedom and the discrepancy between private and public life. Archive images, Super-8, VHS and mobile phone footage document personal acts of resistance and joie de vivre that call out for “Woman! Life! Freedom!” Silvia Bauer
Notice: This film contains depictions of violence and execution.
