Munich Cinema Iran Festival to host ‘Woodgirls’

The 2022 edition of the Munich Cinema Iran Festival in Germany has scheduled to screen ‘Woodgirls - A Duet for a Dream’.

Directed by Azadeh Bizargiti, the documentary is about the lives of Leila Avakh and Sediqeh Momennia who have chosen carpentry as a profession, which is considered extremely masculine in the traditional societies of West Asia.

The duo faces many difficulties and obstacles; however, they are determined to prove that it is possible to achieve your dreams.

Leila and Sediqeh who follow their dreams of opening a carpentry workshop run by women are among the first female carpenters in Iran.

‘Woodgirls – A Duet for a Dream’ went on screen at some global events such as the Cinema d’iDEA in Italy, the Prague International Film Festival – Febiofest in the Czech Republic, the Doc Edge Festival in New Zealand, and the Calcutta International Cult Film Festival in India, where it won the monthly award of “Film on Women”.

The 2022 edition of the Munich Cinema Iran Festival will run on July 13-16 after a two-year pause due to COVID-19.
