Three Days to Liberation

Please note: The director and actress Soheila Golestani will only be able to attend the event digitally. We regret that her visa application has been rejected. Despite the support of the Federal Foreign Office in Berlin, it was not possible for her to leave the country at short notice.

She gave many people courage with a public performance in Tehran about her refusal to wear a head covering. She was imprisoned for weeks for this action and punished with a work ban after her release.

Soheila Golestani is well-known Actress and Director in Film and Theatre who was one of the few Iranian actresses who supported Woman* Life Freedom Movement in Iran. Our Festival will be open with a VR-Installation and a Film Demo There are three of us from Golestani, which will be shown for the first time and has been made during the last year in Iran.

VR-Installation If you go away
Humanity and war are two parts of a single fact. Name of this fact is LIFE. Regarding this fact, everyday many people have to select one of these two parts; death or separation. In fact, LOVE is the only gleam; LOVE is the only great survivor to the conquest of tomorrow.

Film Demo There are three of us
There are three of us is a movie about Fariba—a mother who wants to release her daughter from jail. Soheila is arrested for making a film protesting against the mandatory hijab in Iran. Fariba (Soheila’s mother) is seeking a way to release her.

Producer: Soheila Golestani, Abbas Khoshkanabi

At the end there will be an artist talk with Soheila Golestani (connected via video) and Pegah Tabassinejad.
