Iranian director Abbas Rafei tackles a taboo subject whose very existence is denied by authorities in Iran.
Most films which talk about dark, maligned aspects of societies tend to be unique in their depiction of wrong doings. In many ways, they can be called 'trend setters'. A large section of these films prefers to maintain their neutrality by assigning the task of making a judgment to viewers. Iranian film 'Oblivion Season' is a true representative of this category as it portrays the difficult struggles and harrowing troubles experienced by a former prostitute in order to rebuild her life. Although she is able to marry the man she loves, she is forced to remain prisoner of her loved one. Freedom is an alien concept for her as she has to face a callous masculine society at all times. While making "Fasle Faramoushi-e- Fariba", Iranian director Abbas Rafei felt that making a film about prostitutes is a real challenge in contemporary Iran as its very existence is denied by the government and the society. He has succeeded in showing a woman who tries to overcome religious and traditional dogmatism in order to live and stay alive. Film critic Mr.Lalit Rao interviewed Mr.Abbas Rafei about this film during 19th International Film Festival of Kerala 2014 when he watched this film with other FIPRESCI jurors. It won the special mention of 'NETPAC' (Network for the promotion of Asian cinema) award.
