Earlier this month Bahman Ghobadi, whose film "Half
Moon" has been highly praised at the ongoing San
Sebastian International Film Festival, said it is
increasingly difficult to work in Iran, where his
latest movie has been banned because a woman sings
in it.
"Imagine my frame of mind when, having placed all my
hopes in this film, after having done everything so
that Iranians could see it, the government then
decides it cannot be screened. What energy have I
got left to continue making films?" he asked on the
sidelines of the festival.
"In my country it is forbidden to listen to a
woman's voice," explained Ghobadi. And in the film
the musicians are accompanied by a female singer,
Hesho, whose voice is heard several times during the
film.
"I censored myself so that this film could be
screened in Iran, but I did not get permission in
the end, notably because this woman sings alone."
Ghobadi won San Sebastian's top prize two years ago,
the Concha de Oro, for his film "Turtles Can Fly."
