Nandita Joshi is joined by director Zahraa Ghandour about her powerful feature-length documentary debut, Flana, where she opens up about what led her to step back behind the camera after taking a break as an actress, and how the film became a deeply personal exploration of silence, memory, and womanhood in Iraq. From interviewing her own family to crafting haunting visuals with cinematographer Jocelyne Abi Gebrayel, she reflects on the emotional risks of telling such a vulnerable story, the absence of male voices, and her hopes for the conversations Flana will spark now that it’s out in the world.Subscribe:The Rolling Tape PatreonListen Here:SpotifyApple PodcastsAll Listening PlatformsFollow our interviewees online:Zahraa Ghandour IMDbFollow our interview host online:Nandita Joshi on Letterboxd, X, Instagram, TikTok, and LinktreeHave questions?
