During the 2025 Bahamas International Film Festival (BIFF), Iranian actresses
Boshra Dastournezhad Haghighi and Goli Samii and I sat at the King's Surf Shack on Harbour Island with palm trees swaying in the wind under tropical sun. BIFF is a boutique film festival of the highest standard, where film talent from all over the world gathers in paradise for a week every December for screenings, panels, writer workshops and networking, where industry professionals get the chance to really get to know each other, and facilitate many projects to move forward. This was the festival's 20th anniversary.
"The Bitter Tears of Zahra Zand" (2025) is a mesmerizing film about an Iranian fashion designer living in London who falls in love with her model girlfriend. In a world where she lives in exile and where everything she does is looked down on by her culture, she builds herself a self made prison that will ultimately either destroy her or set her free.
Actress Boshra Dastournezhad Haghighi was born on April 7, 1985 in Shiraz, the daughter of Mehran Dastournezhad Haghighi and Fariba Vesali. Iranian born actress Goli Samii is known for SOUVENIR (1996), SWEETWATER TIDES (20024) and THE WAR WITHIN (2005).
