Directed by Sreemoyee Singh • 2023 • India
Fascinated by Iran’s film culture and the works of the feminist poet Forough Farrokhzad, Indian filmmaker Sreemoyee Singh sets out in search of the protagonists of Iranian cinema. The numerous interviews she conducts over a period of six years with filmmakers Jafar Panahi and Mohammad Shirvani, human rights activist Nasrin Sotoudeh, and others, show the precarious situation in which critics of the regime—under constant threat of imprisonment—find themselves. With a keen eye, she documents the effect of the Islamic Republic’s omnipresent censorship on the daily lives of Iranian women whose uncompromising struggle has put them at the forefront of the recent protests that have rocked the country. AND, TOWARDS HAPPY ALLEYS is both a passionate declaration of love for the cinema and poetry of Iran and a frank portrait of daily life that bears witness to a fearless generation raising its voice to demand its civil liberties.
