Trailer for the documentary Fifi Howls from Happiness.
Fifi Howls from Happiness introduces the vivid, charismatic and combative Iranian artist Bahman Mohasses. Celebrated in pre-revolutionary Iran, Mohasses was written out of its history since 1979. No one had heard of him since, until filmmaker Mitra Farahani tracked the ageing artist down to a hotel room in Rome. Equally prone to egotism and self destruction, he had a disturbing tendency of destroying his own paintings. The film witnesses the attempts to reclaim and value what is left and follows the creative process of his last work.
