This Is Not a Film Page #3
- No, thanks.
Then the parents leave on a trip
and lock the girl inside the house.
From now on, with all doors locked
the girl tries to find
some way out of the house.
lf she cannot get to Tehran
in time for registration,
she will be denied
the chance to go to university.
The film was supposed to take place
within the interior of the house
and l tried to do it
but l couldn't.
That's why l asked you
to come over and help me
in this location
to be able to tell the screenplay.
rather than being placed on tripod,
l can tell the screenplay more easily.
So you are about to tell
your last screenplay that wasn't made?
Yes, but not in here.
lf l sit here and read
it will bore everyone.
But if we go to that area over there,
we can construct the conditions
to explain more easily.
Good.
So let's go over to the other side.
Very well. Cut.
Cut?
Go on. Cut.
You are not directing.
It's an offence.
You just read the screenplay.
So l'm not a director any more.
Ok. If you are going to describe,
then leave the rest to me.
Just tell us your screenplay
and l'll follow you.
l hope it works.
By the way,
acting and reading screenplay by me
are not going to be counted
as offence, are they?
l hope not.
No, they aren't.
So far it says...
from writing screenplays,
from leaving the country,
from having interviews.
Acting and reading screenplays
were not mentioned.
Thanks God.
should be enough for our story.
This location does not match
our main character, Maryam...
since she's from a lower class.
We can only recreate the location here
so we can get a feel of her situation...
Just a moment.
Let's imagine this rug is the girl's home.
We suppose the girl's entire, house
to be this area here
and l'll start from here...
and these lines that l draw...
are the walls of the girl's room.
This is her room.
Let's say this is her bed
and she's lying here.
There's a window here.
The opening shot will be of this window.
This shot will last about 6
and we'll only be seeing the alley.
Then the entrance to the room will be here.
Here's the entrance to the girl's room.
And here's the entrance to the house.
The living room is here.
A few stairs and we enter...
the girl's room.
Take these to be the stairs.
Here's the alley.
Here's the house next-door.
l'll tell of some events
that take place inside this house.
This is the location l found
on my trip to Isfahan.
The window had to be altered
to match my idea.
Here's the girl's room
and it's in a mess right now,
and we had to change the arrangements.
These are the stairs
