Forugh Farrokhzad

Short film from 1963, by the Iranian poet Forugh Farrokhzad. Her poems was published in a Danish translation and I have read it with much fondness. So this Iranian guy on Hive tells me that she also made a short film about a leper colony in the north of Iran. It is really beautiful - and ugly - as is its theme.
