Golshifteh Farahani Instagram – #Repost @voguemagazine ・・・ “The women of Iran, the young people protesting on the street, are saying, ‘We don’t even want reform. We want an end to this dictatorship.’” So declares Iranian-born, New York-based artist Shirin Neshat (@shirin__neshat) in “Women, Life, Freedom,” a new Vogue-commissioned short by Roxy Rezvany, the British Malaysian-Chinese-Iranian filmmaker behind 2018’s “Little Pyongyang.” Conceived against the backdrop of Iran’s roiling protests—which began in September after the death of Mahsa “Jina” Amini, a 22-year-old visitor to Tehran from the city of Saqqez who was detained by police for allegedly wearing her headscarf incorrectly—the film engages three leading Iranian creatives, actor @golfarahani, Neshat, and designer @pariafarzaneh, in a moving conversation about oppression, bravery, and hope. Framed portraits of Sarina Esmailzadeh, Asra Panahi, Hadis Najafi, Hananeh Kia, Minoo Majidi, Mahsa Mougouyi, and Nika Shakarami, meanwhile, pay tribute to the many who have been killed since demonstrations began. At the link in our bio, director Roxy Rezvany reflects on the meaning behind the project and the protests in support of #mahsaamini.
