Razeh-del
راز دل
The 1998 founding of Iran’s first women-run newspaper inspires two schoolgirls to dream of a film that can never be made: a lesbian love story that ends with the Ministry of Culture being set ablaze.
Layering saturated newsprint and repurposed footage of banned Iranian movies — including works by titans like Mohsen Makhmalbaf, Dariush Mehrjui and Rafi Pitts — MIFF Award winner Maryam Tafakory (Mast-del, MIFF 2023; Nazarbazi, MIFF 2022; I Have Sinned a Rapturous Sin, MIFF 2018) returns with this playful, passionate work of cultural possibility, retelling a secret history of women’s resistance in her signature experimental style.
