Iranian filmmaker Armin Etemadi asserts that female solidarity represents a powerful force against patriarchal control. In a recent interview, the independent director, screenwriter, and essayist discussed his work centering on women’s struggles in contemporary Iranian society. Etemadi’s short films blend cinema with visual art and social commentary, focusing on the condition of women. He believes systems of patriarchy find it particularly difficult to manage unified female support networks. His artistic output positions women’s fight for liberation as a central theme. Etemadi’s work aims to highlight the importance of this struggle and the strength found in collective action.
