No Land's Song (Persian: آواز بی‌سرزمین‎ / Âvâz-e Bi-Sarzamin) is a 2014 Iranian documentary film written and directed by Ayat Najafi, starring Sara Najafi, Parvin Namazi, Sayeh Sodeyfi, Emel Mathlouthi, Elise Caron, and Jeanne Cherhal.

In the wake of the revolution of 1979, the new regime forbids women in Iran to sing publicly as soloists in front of men.

In defiance of censorship and cultural, religious and legal taboos, a young composer named Sara Najafi decides to organize a concert for female solo singers.

Najafi starts to enlist others. She recruits two other Iranian singers – Parvin Namazi and Sayeh Sodeyfi – to join her. In turn, Namazi and Sodeyfi invite three female singers from Paris: Elise Caron, Jeanne Cherhal and Emel Mathlouthi. Their stated intention is to perform together as solo artists in a show to be held in Tehran. As the Iranian film festival states, this musical collaboration is said to reopen a "musical bridge" uniting France and Iran.
