Czech Republic hosting Iran's ‘Woodgirls'

Iranian documentary ‘Woodgirls - A Duet for a Dream’ has been going on screen at the Prague International Film Festival – Febiofest in Czech Republic.

The 2022 edition of the festival is hosting the Iranian doc directed by Azadeh Bizargiti at the Girls in Film section.

“The film follows two self-taught female carpenters, among the first in Iran. Leila Avakh and Sediqeh Momennia embarked on an unconventional journey to fulfill the dream of owning a carpentry shop. But their ambition is even greater. They want to help make it possible for other women to work with wood,” a synopsis of the film reads.

Launched in 1993, the Febiofest is oriented towards full length films, bringing to Czech audiences the best films of the last year, as well as distribution premieres, retrospectives and tributes.

The event guarantees excellent screening conditions for all formats, not to mention supreme comfort for festival-goers.

The 29th edition of the festival, currently underway, has been slated for April 28–May 4, 2022.
