Iranian Journey • Directed by Maysoon Pachachi • 2000 • Germany/Iran/United Kingdom
Iranian Journey is a documentary road movie with Massoumeh Soltan Baloghie, the first woman long-distance bus driver in Iran and, probably, the whole Islamic world. On a 22-hour bus trip north to south across Iran from Tehran to Bandar Abbas, Massoumeh talks about her life and aspirations. Her passengers chat, eat, sleep and tell their stories, and we meet people in the road stop cafés, on the sides of the road and in the cities en route. In Tehran, we speak to women of different ages and classes about their work, life and aspirations – a painter, a musician, TV factory workers, law students, editor of a feminist magazine and many others including Masoumeh’s 2 teenage daughters, Zahra and Fatima.

Only Voice Remains • Directed by Makez Rikweda and Sol Rikweda • 2019 • UK
Only Voice Remains is a documentary that centers on the life of Forugh Farrokhzad, a controversial modernist poet and iconoclast who wrote from a woman’s perspective. Her poetry reflects the thoughts and emotions of women with both delicacy and boldness. Even though her writing is now more than fifty years old, it still resonates powerfully with many people.
The film features reenactments of Farrokhzad’s interviews, her intimate love life, the moments in which she wrote poetry, and the times when she suffered from depression. Rikweda incorporates interviews with poets and literary scholars into her documentary, in which these individuals comment on the influence of Farrokhzad’s work on culture and the people’s imagination.

This short film, in sum, is a mélange of poetic sequences, reenactments, and interviews that come together to paint a powerful image of a legendary female poet who was overlooked by the literary canon influenced by the patriarchy.

Be Like Others • Directed by Tanaz Eshaghian • 2008 • Canada/Iran/UK/USA
Be Like Others centers on a group of young men who decide to undergo sex reassignment surgery in a country with strict social views and traditional values. While homosexuality is punishable by death in Iran, sex change operations are legal under religious law. Tanaz Eshaghian’s camera follows along as these young men prepare for their transformation and get ready to be “reborn” into a new life. The rhythm of the film and the interweaving of emotional interviews create an atmosphere of gentle directness that forces viewers to truly see the lives and plights of transgender people.
Although Eshaghian’s mode of telling this story may at first appear simple, it visually reveals its nuances and complexities by means of a slowed-down, acute, and patiently observant sense of compassion and care. The way in which the drama unfolds in this documentary is melodramatic and sculpts an arresting portrait of the transgender experience in Iran.
