Film & Music: Faravaz Farvardin
In her home country of Iran, the singer Faravaz Farvardin faced the threat of arrest because of her music. She now lives in Germany and uses her voice as a political weapon. In the 2023 short documentary My Orange Garden, she recalls the orange trees in her garden in Iran and talks about her life. My Orange Garden was screened at Kortfilmfestival Leuven back in 2024.
This year, Faravaz herself will be attending and will treat the festival audience to an exclusive concert following the screening. She will also take part in a conversation with Maryam Kamal Hedayat, who founded Studio Sarab, a production and distribution platform for (eco)feminist and diasporic stories.
