Born in Tehran in 1957, filmmaker Mohsen Ostad Ali Makhmalbaf grew
up in the religious and politically charged atmosphere of the
1960s, and the June 1963 uprising of Ayatollah Khomeini constitutes
one of his earliest memories. In 1972, Makhmalbaf formed his own
urban guerrilla group and two years later attacked a police
officer, for which he was arrested and jailed. He remained
incarcerated until 1978, when the revolutionary wave led by
Ayatollah Khomeini freed him and launched his career as a writer
and self-taught filmmaker. Since then, Makhmalbaf has gone on to
make such highly admired films as Gabbeh and The Silence. The three
lengthy conversations collected here, between Makhmalbaf and
leading Iranian film critic and scholar Hamid Dabashi, traverse the
filmmaker's experiences as a young radical, his critical stance
regarding the current Islamic regime, and his fascination with
films--both as product and as process. In this in-depth view of one
of the most significant Middle Eastern filmmakers of our time,
Makhmalbaf reflects on the relationship between cinema and
violence, tolerance, and social change, as well as the political
and artistic importance of the autonomy of the filmmaker.
