I Feel Its Important To Talk About

The Fact That I Do Place Music At The End Of My Films Is Not To Accentuate The Emotion. It Serves An Opposite Purpose Which Is To Remove Them From The Emotional Space And Allow Them To Enter A Space Of Thinking, Because I Believe That When The Audience Is Watching The Film They're Watching It With Their Feelings.

I Think That Theater Is The Closest Medium To Music. It's Very Pure. It's For The Elite Of The Society. It's Not For Everyone In The Society.

Often Times, Music Is Used To Evoke An Emotion And It's Become A Cliche, So I Don't Want To Do That, And Actually What I Do, Is That Emotional Intensity That Has Developed Throughout The Film, I Allow It To Get Released By Having That Music At The End With The Credits.

When I Decide To Write A Story, I Don't Think Too Much About What I Want It To Be, I Just Let Things Come Naturally And This Is How It Turns Out. It's Just How My Subconscious Works.

Iranian Filmmakers Are Not Passive. They Fight Whenever They Can, As Creative Expression Means A Lot To Them. The Restrictions And Censorship In Iran Are A Bit Like The British Weather: One Day It's Sunny, The Next Day It's Raining. You Just Have To Hope You Walk Out Into The Sunshine.
