About Stardust Stricken
Two of the most important participants of the Iranian New Wave Houshang Golmakani and Mohsen Makhmalbaf come together in Stardust Stricken to give us a rare look at the relationship between personal history, ideology, and art. Golmakani is a critic, filmmaker, and founding editor of Film, Iran s oldest post-revolutionary film magazine, while Makmalbaf is a controversial director whose films, like The Boycott and The Gardener, are both visually and politically daring.In Stardust Stricken, the critic turns the camera onto the filmmaker to trace Makmalbaf s development from a prison-bound political activist to a renowned filmmaker. We journey with Golmakani through locales of Makmalbaf s youth: the poor Tehrani neighborhood where he was born, the clandestine places his political guerrilla group met, the spot where he was shot and arrested while trying to disarm a policeman the places and events shaped a filmmaker who would, after a four-year prison sentence, decide to approach his activism through art. In Farsi with English subtitles.
