Golshifteh Farahani: Exile from Iran, Necessity of Art & Full Body Action Cinema

This week on Locarno Meets we're joined by the Iranian actress Golshifteh Farahani, who – in a remarkable and emotional in-depth discussion – talks about leaving Iran, the retribution she faced for debuting in Hollywood with “Body of Lies”, the Women, Life, Freedom (Zan, Zendegī, Āzādī) movement, making the extraordinary and disturbing “Alpha” with Julia Ducournau, and finally the joy – and physical toll – of making high-octane action movies.
