GOOGOOSH - MADE OF FIRE
Director: Niloufar Taghizadeh
Germany 2024, 95 min., OV Farsi/English/German with German subtitles, Blu-ray projection

Googoosh, Iran's best-known singer and actress, has been an icon and pioneer of Iranian pop culture for over 50 years. She made her first appearance at the age of two, and Googoosh was known from Tehran's famous Miami cabaret to the Royal Palace. An international career followed with performances all over the world and hits in Persian, French and English. With the Islamic revolution, everything changed in one fell swoop: a ban on performing, prison and house arrest. After 21 years of isolation, she managed to leave the country and make an unexpected comeback in exile. Her moving story made her a voice of resistance and a symbol of hope.

"The documentary has already achieved something impressive: Through the folk singer, it portrays a people, through a biography it tells history, with great tragedy as the lowest common denominator. The film also deals with the fate of art in times of oppression. There is no emotional, innocent safe space here where people can simply listen to music unencumbered. For the Iranians in exile today, every song is either a reminder of a good time that comes from a world long gone, or of the bad time that forced them to flee this world." from: Süddeutsche Zeitung
