Happy Birthday, Forough Farrokhzad! Born today in 1934, this influential Iranian poet and filmmaker was a controversial modernist poet and an iconoclast, writing from a female point of view.
Farrokhzad is best known for writing, directing and co-narrating (along with her second and final husband, Iranian filmmaker and literary figure Ebrahim Golestan).
This was the acclaimed twenty-six-minute 1963 Iranian black and white documentary short film 'Khaneh siah ast' ('The House Is Black').
The film takes an insinuative look at the leprosy-stuck colony of Tebriz in Iran, which has been completely neglected by the society.
One of Iran's most revered female poets, Farrokhzad passed from a jeep accident on February 13, 1967. She was 32.
