- Shirin Neshat is one of the most prominent contemporary Muslim women artists. Her poignant explorations and questioning of women’s roles in Iran and the rise of fundamentalism after the 1979 Iranian Revolution got her banned from the country of her birth. Since 1996, she has lived in exile outside of Iran.
“Looking for Oum Kulthum,” based on the life of the legendary Egyptian singer, is Neshat's second feature film. Seeping in layers of introspection, Looking for Oum Kulthum explores the singer’s life through the story of a Iranian filmmaker Mitra (played by Neda Rahmanian), who, like Neshat, is living in exile outside of Iran and equally devoted to making a film about Kulthum (played by Yasmin Raeis). In her attempt to tell a story that goes beyond the legend and the myth of the iconic Kulthum, Mitra comes face to face with her own struggles with eschewing societal norms.
