In 1962, Furug Farrokhzad, a founder of modern Persian poetry and an icon in women’s issues in Iran, made her first and last film: “The House is Black,” a lyrical documentary about a leper colony in northeastern Iran. She would die prematurely shortly after. Nearly 55 years after her tragic death, the young Turkish actress Derya decided to put on a monologue reciting Farrokhzad’s poetry in Istanbul. Her quest: to renew her art at a time when women’s rights in Turkey are under attack.
