The San Sebastian Film Festival Special Jury Award goes to Buddha Collapsed out of Shame, directed by Hana Makhmalbaf on a first feature by a extremely young director that impressed the jury with its exquisite cinematography and the remarkable performance by the child actress Nikbakht Noruz. A promising debut by a filmmaker whom we hope will go on to create important works in the future.
Born in Tehran, 1988. Comes from a distinguished family of filmmakers (daughter of Mohsen Makhmalbaf and sister of Samira Makhmalbaf). Her first short film, The Day My Aunt Was Ill, was presented at Locarno Festival in 1997, when Hana was only 9. At the age of 14, she made the documentary Joy of Madness, about the shooting of her sister’s film At Five in the Afternoon, and at the age of 15 published her first book of poems, Visa for One Moment. Buddha Collapsed Out of Shame is her first feature>>>Film clip

I suggest to Niavarani to learn more ...
by Darius Kadivar on Sat Oct 06, 2007 06:22 AM PDTGo and see Makhmalbaf's Un Instant d'Innocence and you will see that Makhmalbaf regrets to have stabbed an Iranian policeman during the Shah's time. He ends up by Regretting this gensture. That does not make Makhmalbaf a monarchist does it ?
What does Art and admiration for an Artist have to do with ones political opinions or preferences. I did not ask your political opinions did I ?
And Who told you I was a monarchist ? I don't belong to any political party ! That does not mean I should not have an opinion !
Kadivar?
by ShahRokh Niavarani (not verified) on Thu Oct 04, 2007 05:35 PM PDTKadivar is always screaming that, "Life was better during the Shah's time". Oh, please! He is so wrong. The Pahlavis ruined Iran. The Pahlavis practically gave the country over to the Ayatollahs in 1979. I say fuck the Shah. And fuck the Monarchy.
