This Is Not a Film Page #2
- l'm not acting anymore!
- Cut.
Mina...
l want to get off!
What's the matter?
l'm not acting anymore!
Open the door!
Let me off!
- What should l do?
- Stop the bus.
Open up!
Mina, won't you say?
No, l won't.
Let her get off.
l'm not sure about the outcome, but...
Bring the camera closer.
- You want to shoot this?
- Yes.
- Shall we block off the sidewalk?
- No. Never mind that.
She might touch the microphone.
Do we have her voice?
Yes.
Ready to shoot?
Let's go then.
Check the sound.
Recording.
So l was saying.
exactly a similar position as Mina.
Somehow l must remove my cast
and throw it away.
This morning
after we talked on the phone,
l sat down and reviewed the shots
l had filmed earlier.
l realised it seems like pretending
in a sense.
lt is turning out to be a lie
and that it is somehow not me.
l remembered you
were going to make a film...
about such problems.
What was it exactly?
Behind the scenes
of Iranian filmmakers not making films.
l see.
That's why l asked you to come over.
Perhaps we could achieve something
inside this house.
l'll tell you now.
Just a moment, let me get this.
By the way, l don't know
much about technical problems.
Now do we need
additional light for the ambience?
Right now
the problem is over-saturation.
The problem is over-exposure.
But there is too much light
coming through the windows.
So l don't need
to fetch additional light?
Good. Let's go into the kitchen.
What are you going to do?
Let's drink our tea
The reason l took
this screenplay is that...
Wait a moment.
Let me change my view.
l don't know if you remember
this screenplay or not.
This is the last film
that l was going to make.
l sent it for approval,
which unfortunately they didn't approve.
They told me to make
some changes to the screenplay...
and to mellow it down a little
and it might get permissin,
but still it didn't get the approval,
and l wasn't allowed to work.
Now l thought perhaps
l could read out the screenplay.
Now that l'm not allowed
to make the film
perhaps by reading and explaining,
l might create an image of it.
Perhaps the viewer will see
the film that wasn't made.
The film is about a girl
who has been admitted
to university in the field of arts.
But since she comes
from a traditional family,
her family does not let her...
... to study in that field.
Particularly after she passes...
the university entrance exam,
and her name is printed in newspapers.
and the family makes restrictions for her.
- Do you want me to warm up your tea?
