Director's Statement

About my film “Kallima”, I can say that this is my most personal film. That means that no matter what success the film can make, I can say that I love it more than all the other films I’ve made. Explaining further that losing a father is something I experienced as a child and the main theme of the film is about it. Especially because of the censorship that exists in Iranian society and as a Kurd, no one can speak easily about these issues. That’s why I’m glad I was able to make my film with all these conditions and get out of the censorship. I would be happy if this theme was seen in the film and the festival selection committee deduced it from the story lines.
