When The Film [certified Copy] Was In The Cannes Festival, I Realized That The Fact Of Having It Shot In A Different Culture, In A Different Language, In A Different Setting, That Wasn't Mine And That I Didn't Belong To, Gave Me A Totally Different Relationship To The Film. When I Was Sitting In The Audience During The Official Screening In Cannes, I Didn't Feel That It Was My Film.

I Was Mentioning With The Digital Camera, Maybe This New Fashion Of Filmmaking Gives A Closer Look Of What Life May Be Like. But It's Still Nothing But A Copy.

I Think I'm No Different To My Friends Who Are Doctors Or Businessmen Or Architects - We All Started Watching Films Of The Golden Age Together. But Whether I'm Making Films Or Writing Poetry Or Doing Photography, It's Very Much Rooted In My Sense Of Unease. And That's Really Where Everything Goes Back To.

In This Type Of Cinema, Whether Working With Actors Or Non-actors, As Much As You Do Direct Them, If You Allow Yourself To Be Directed By Them, Then The End Result Will Be Much More Pleasing. The Real And Individual Strengths Of The Actors Is Allowed To Be Expressed And Is Something That Does Affect The Audience Very Deeply.

I'm Not Sure That My Films Show The Reality Of Life In Iran; We Show Different Aspects Of Life. Iran Is A Very Extensive And Expansive Place, And Sometimes, Even For Us Who Live There, Some Of The Realities Are Very Hard To Comprehend.
