Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival brings you "Meet the Filmmakers" episode
“It’s Winter”. Interview with Milad Khosravi, interviewer Mike Arnott.
Join us, and together let’s find out the answers to these questions:
1. Who is the focal character in the film and how did Milad Khosravi find her?
2. What challenges did Milad Khosravi face when filming in such a tough environment?
3. Is it difficult being an independent filmmaker in Iran regarding censorship?
In this interview we will meet with director Milad Khosravi and uncover the answers behind these burning questions.
Milad Khosravi is an Iranian writer, director and editor who is most known for his films "The Excellency" (2021), "Autumn" (2023) and "Baseless Laughter of the Deer" (2021). His newest film, "It's Winter", dives into the depths of inequality, with a tragic story following 16-year-old Sogol, who is preparing for winter in the remote Iranian Zagros Mountains. Sogol dreams of a life where women stand equal to men and have access to education, but unfortunately this dream is lost due to the patriarchal traditions of her family and culture. In such solitude, how will her story resolve?

Tallinna Pimedate Ööde filmifestival toob teieni saate “Meet the filmmakers”, peaosas film “Talv”. Intervjuu Milad Khosraviga, kellega vestles Mike Arnott.
Ühine meiega! Koos me leiame vastused järgmistele küsimustele:
1. Kes on filmi keskne tegelane ning kuidas Milad Khosravi ta ülesse leidis?
2. Milliseid raskusi pidi Milad Khosravi ületama, filmides nii ohtlikus keskkonnas?
3. Kas Iraanis on raske olla tsensuuri kõrvalt iseseisev filmitegija?
Selles intervjuus kohtume režissöör Milad Khosravi ja leiame vastused nendele põlevatele küsimustele.
Milad Khosravi on Iraani režissöör, kes on enim tuntud oma filmide eest: "Ekstsellents" (2021), "Sügis" (2023) ja "Hirve alusetu naer" (2021). Tema uusim film "Talv" sukeldub ebavõrdsuse sügavustesse, jutustades traagilise loo 16-aastasest Sogolist, kes valmistub talveks kaugetes Zagrosi mägedes. Sogol unistab elust, kus naised seisavad meestega võrdselt, kus neil on juurdepääs haridusele. Kahjuks on seda unistust oma perekonna ja kultuuritraditsioonide tõttu keeruline täide viia. Kuidas Sogoli lugu sellises üksinduses laheneb, kui üldse?
