Subject: Re: information needed about 3rd world women in film


Forough farokh-Zad, a poetess from Iran who lost her life in a car accident
about 30(?) years ago, made a great movie (documentary) titled: The house is
dark:  "Khane Siah Ast" Ebrahim Golestan was her assistance.  Where to get
it?  Don't know. You could contact Prof. Farzaneh Milani at Virginia
University (Charlotville).  She teaches Persian lit.  She might know of
others from Iran 
Great idea. Good luck
