Summary
An international award winner documentary film on leper colony in Tabriz produced by Furugh Farrukhzad in 1962. As for the significance of the House is Black, it had the effect of presenting Farrukhzad in a new light to some devotees of modernist literature and intellectuals unconvinced of her seriousness as an artist.
