Film Talk with Steffi Niederzoll, Director of SEVEN WINTERS IN TEHRAN

Moderation: Silvia Bauer


SEVEN WINTERS IN TEHRAN, FR, DE 2023, Steffi Niederzoll


“I wish for the day when no girl is raped anymore. I wish for the
day when the rights of the weak are not violated anymore.”
Reyhaneh Jabbari killed in self-defence, stood up for her rights
and was sentenced to death. She was 26 years old. The
protagonist’s courage and absolute determination leave a deep
impression. Against the background of the current women’s rights
movement in Iran, this is an explosive and depressing
film. Helga-Mari Steininger
