#16 SEVEN WINTERS IN TEHRAN (R. Steffi Niederzoll, 97 MIN. DU , 2023)

A conversation in german with director Steffi Niederzoll about her debut film SEVEN WINTERS IN TEHRAN SYNOPSIS In the summer of 2007, an older man approaches Reyhaneh Jabbari and asks the architecture student who has a side job as an interior decorator for her help in the design of offices. During the site inspection, he tries to rape her. Reyhaneh stabs him in self-defence. She is arrested for murder and sentenced to death. Reyhaneh was to spend the next seven years in prison while her family hired lawyers and made the public aware of the case. However, in spite of the efforts of national and international politicians and human rights organisations, the Iranian judiciary continued to cite the “right of blood-revenge”. This meant that, as long as Reyhaneh did not withdraw her accusations against the man, his family could demand her death. Reyhaneh stuck to her testimony and was hanged at the age of 26. PRESS The film premiered at the Perspective Deutsches Kino section of the 73th edition of the Berlinale Film Festival.
