Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival brings you "Meet the filmmakers" episode “Oh, What Happy Days!”. Interview with the director Homayoun Ghanizadeh and producer Gelareh Kiazand, interviewer Nikolaj Nikitin.
Come and step into the conversation and uncover the secrets behind these burning questions:
1. Why is this film made “from out of the suitcase” for Homayoun Ghanizadeh?
2. How did COVID affect the making of the film? How is it represented in the scenes?
3. What does the positive title mean in the context of a serious film?
Ask no more—this interview spills the answers you didn’t even know you were chasing
Homayoun Ghanizadeh’s first movie ""A Hairy Tale"" has received the special jury prize for the best script from the 35th Warsaw film festival and also has been rewarded with some other awards from international film festivals around the world. Told entirely through the lens of this high-stakes virtual meeting, “Oh, What Happy Days!” is a searing portrait of exile, shame, and the cost of truth. Using this method, director Homayoun Ghanizadeh gives his amazing actors all the freedom they need, which makes this cinematic experience truly a masterpiece.

Tallinna Pimedate Ööde filmifestival toob teieni saate "Meet the filmmakers", peaosas film “Oh, mis rõõm!”. Intervjuu filmi režissööri Homayoun Ghanizadehiga ja produtsendi Gelareh Kiazandiga, kellega vestles Nikolaj Nikitin.
Kuula kaasa ja saa vastused nendele põletavatele küsimustele:
1. Miks kutsub Homayoun Ghanizadeh seda filmi “kohvrifilmiks”?
2. Kuidas mõjutas filmi tegemist COVID? Kuidas see mõju stseenides esile tuleb?
3. Mida tähendab filmi positiivne pealkiri tõsise filmi kontekstis?
Tundub põnev? Ära muretse, vastused pole üldse kaugel…
Homayoun Ghanizadehi debüütfilm ""A Hairy Tale"" pälvis 35. Varssavi filmifestivalil žürii eriauhinna parima stsenaariumi eest ning on pälvinud ka teisi auhindu rahvusvahelistelt filmifestivalidelt üle maailma. Film, mis on täielikult jutustatud kõrgete panustega virtuaalse kohtumise läbi, “Oh, mis rõõm!”on põletav portree pagendusest, häbist ja tõe hinnast. Seda meetodit kasutades annab režissöör Homayoun Ghanizadeh suurepärastele näitlejatele kogu vajaliku vabaduse ja sünnib tõeline meistriteos.
