food maybe worrying
For me, it's better to live without looking over your shoulder, worrying about who is controlling your phone, maybe poisoning your food.
love music region
I love music; I come from a region of Kurdistan that is a base for music.
filmmaker millions people
I'm free - but I'm also not free because there are millions of young people living in Iran. A filmmaker can only do a little.
people producers speaks
When you want to make a film abroad, you need producers and people who support you. You need a team that speaks your language.
complex education explode proper
I didn't have the welfare. I didn't have the proper education. I didn't have these things. That's why it's almost like a complex in me that I want to explode myself in my films.
answer ask east islamic lies people suppress
I often ask myself, 'Why is it that most of the lies come out of Islamic countries, and why is it that most of the social corruptions are in the Middle East and in these Islamic countries?' The answer is, when you control something, when you suppress something, people try to do it another way.
burnt heard iraq protest talk whom
In my view, the adults are the burnt generation of Iraq for whom nothing can be done. But for the children, we can worry now, we can talk about them, we can plan for them, we can get our protest heard by others.
children believe people
I used to believe that people are only born once, but now I feel I have been reborn, like I was given a new life. I see myself as a child, full of energy and hope.

You need a team that speaks your language.
regret historical film
Actually, the only thing I regret is not making more underground films and bringing them with me as historical documents.
war hardship directors
In Kurdistan, theres a lot of hardship - a lot of wars, a lot of bitter and difficult lifestyles. And witnessing all those made me a director.

I always loved music, and I always wanted to make a film about it, but I could never do it because of the censorship that was around.
humorous use foundation
I use humour a lot. My foundation is tragic, but my appearance is humorous.
littles cameras film
I had no education in filmmaking. I started with a 8mm camera. I made 34 films, and little by little I gained more experience in filming.
