Samira Cheghoneh 'Takhté Siah' Rol Sakht plot
Samira Makhmalbaf's younger brother Mezssam captured on film how his sister worked on her second film 'Blackboards' and promoted it at the Cannes Film Festival. This not only provides a contrast between the makeshift efforts in the Iranian desert and the glamor of Cannes, but also a multifaceted making-of that covers many facets of filmmaking. Problems on set, Samira's motivations and inspiration, the festival's award ceremony, it's all covered. Information about the film and Samira is provided by Makhmalbaf in a way that is as simple as it is effective: he simply filmed the press conference.
