And, Towards Happy Alleys is a 2023 Indian documentary film by Sreemoyee Singh. Shot in the form of a travel diary, it contains conversations with Iranian filmmakers, actors, scholars, and activists.[1] The film premiered at 73rd Berlin International Film Festival.[2][3]

The documentary was shot over a course of seven years.[4] It features Iranian director Jafar Panahi as well as two sisters; Aida Mohammadkhani and Mina Mohammadkhani, who appeared as child actors in Panahi's films The White Balloon (1995) and The Mirror (1997), respectively.[5] Other personalities featured in the film include Iranian filmmaker Mohammad Shirvani as well as human rights activist Nasrin Sotoudeh.[6]

Reception

Santanu Das of Hindustan Times wrote, "Singh's documentation is as much a love letter to Iranian Cinema as it is a reminder of the importance of activism, culminating into a profound denouement with Farrokhza's verses. It gently illuminates the mind."[7] Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV wrote, "Its strength stems from the way it sees and recognises light in - and at the end of - a tunnel of darkness."[8]
