"KISSES AND BULLETS"
an interview with filmmaker Faranak Sahafian.
We are so excited to share our full-length conversation with filmmaker Faranak Sahafian, whose short film "Kisses and Bullets" premiered at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival.
"Kisses and Bullets" follows two Iranian women, one of whom is queer, during the Women, Life, Freedom movement who are connected across the world by one picture - a picture of love, of resistance, of community.
