“The Seed of the Bible” is filming the secret film

Mohamed Akhbarov is now comfortably able to participate in the US Awards season for the best international Oscar candidate for the year 2025, “the seed of the sacred shape”.

But this was not an initial certainty of the director -winning director, who escaped from the persecution of his country of origin (and issued a repeated judgment) for Germany after the completion of the film’s production in Tehran in the early spring of 2024. Since then, it has been promoted to buy politically and take the film that challenges The Foundation, which pronounces the actual woman, life, and freedom protests in Iran in 2022 with the imaginary story of the Revolutionary Court Judge (Misag Zari), whose weapon is lost, and how this affects his two teenage daughters, which Razvan (Mahasa Rustami) and Setareh Maleki play. The girls, who are included in these protests as shown through the actual cell phone shots of the demonstrations, may be responsible for the disappearance of the gun.

Germany is where Rasoulf has edited the movie, “The Seed of the Sacred Fig” (NEON) has a decent snapshot in winning the Best International Award Oscar behind “Emilia Pérez”, and France’s decline here. “Indiewire spoke recently with Rostami and Maleki, who were Safety in Europe at the time, and a translator about enlarging their experience with the filming of the “seed of the sacred shape”.

“I am older than 17 years of the character that I was playing in the movie,” said Maliki, 32, but Rasolov plays a teenager so that I do not put a younger actress under government scrutiny. “What I decided to do is behave like a teenage behind the scenes so that people treat me like a teenager. Even the language I was using and the behavior that I had shown all resembles a teenage girl until people kiss me and treat me like a teenage behind the scenes, so that when we were in front of the camera, that.” It was already accepted. “

“I joined the crew at the last minute. I took a lot of impressions from the way you played your childhood in its sita … Settara came, and with this childish voice, he said to me, “Hello, are you the one who will be my sister?” What was happening.

The actresses said that they had no fear of bearing the roles, which show women inside without the veil, and rarely for an Iranian movie – and even more dangerous given that the issue of wearing the veil, and a miraculous death that challenged Islamic law, formed the basis of women, life, and freedom protests.

“The truth is told, no, we were not really afraid because we took a very conscious option and there was nothing called fear at that stage. We read the scenario very consciously. We were aware of all the concerns that would be along the way and all the challenges, and with all the awareness We have overcome these concerns, and we decided and made us an option to be part of our resistance as people going to Maliki, who added that the challenges were more about protecting crew members so that this dissident cinematic project was not exposed.

“I had some fear in the beginning and some fears, and a lot of fears for my family,” said Rostami. “When I read the text program for the first time, I was completely afraid of my family, but about two to three weeks of shooting … anger at the situation, and the excitement that I had for this project overcame my fear. If there was any fear, the fear was from Detecting and stopping the project. ”

During the filming in Tehran, Rasoulof had to remain a distance from the actors at all times for this particular reason, as the film shows that the sisters were involved in the struggle for Islamic law with the challenge of their governmental father.

“In one of the scenes that we were shooting on the street, we were in one car, and Mr. Rasoulof was in another car box, and he was lying in the trunk with a screen in front of him and Malik said:” It cannot be seen from the outside. “He was talking to us through the continuation of the neighborhood. “On one occasion, I remember when I saw him when he was entering and coming out of this trunk, and I said to him,” We aim the directors here. ” In fact, a type of project that must be done with great respect for the director, and some peace, but everything was contrary. “

“I usually wanted to be in contact with (Rasoulof), and I wanted to ask him questions or ask his opinion about certain things I did … We could not do this because of the distance. Usually interactions between the actor and managers are very necessary. In our case This was not possible. The next person, the next person will reach the exit.

However, she said, “I hope there will be time for us that we can interact with the director, and how terrible that we are depriving this opportunity.”

The actors said they were fully prepared to take over the movie because of their previous participation in women, life, the movement of freedom. Maliki said: “We were actors who refused to return in a timely manner,” Maliki said. “We both refused to wear the forced veil, forced veil, and work with state projects that would force us to wear the veil. This was why we were present and our choice of this film. It was because we chose a very active movement in the movement.”
