If i make two films in a year, they'll be different. this is my style - i can't have just one way.
From my films, you can at least learn about iran, you can get a sense of the history and the society. but no such films have been made about afghanistan, so you really can't know much about it.
The question in their minds was, why did the outside world, and particularly the western world, produce all these landmines, and send them to afghanistan? this business must be stopped. it's a dirty business to produce such a horrible device.
In many ways, it is very real, because i sat there for 9 days, and it was constantly happening, and that was the 9 days of making the film. but you can't say that it's 100% true, because there are places where i've been intrusive and interfered.
I'm not playing myself. it's a symbolic situation, where i want to introduce a fascist behind the table. i couldn't have had anybody else do that; for it to be successful, i had to do it myself.
I wanted to be left alone to live my life, so it was very easy for people to pretend that they were me.
From 7 in the morning to 11 at night, i was reading. i don't think one can find any other time in one's life to be left alone so much to read in peace like that.
There's an 800 kilometer border between iran and afghanistan.
It was really bizarre, that sabzian business. you know i had no interest in being photographed before this incident. but then not just sabzian—many other people started pretending they were me! one of them actually got married while pretending he was me! my face became publicly recognizable soon after i decided to have a few photographs of me available in public to prevent these sorts of identity thefts. it is really pathetic, if you think of it. filmmakers and filmmaking is so popular in iran because all other forms of expression have been denied to people.
But also, there are no films being made about afghanistan.
Do you know that every day, 10 people in afghanistan are injured by landmines? it will continue for the next 50 years, because the country has the largest number of landmines in the world.
I myself had to grow a longer beard and afghan clothes. i was in danger of being kidnapped by smugglers, though i didn't know it at the time.
