"So many talented women are still waiting for their first movie." With Iranian director Mahnaz Mohammadi we talked about her fiction-feature debut Son-Mother, released in Belgian cinemas by MOOOV on 6 October. In the film a widow is forced to make a heartbreaking decision about her son’s fate.
The interview was recorded online via Zoom on 29 September and aired in a shortened version on Urgent.fm on 2 October 2021. The song at the end is The Wind is to Blame (همه چیز تقصیر باد است) by Aida Shahghasemi, chosen by Mahnaz.
