In late May of 2007 Peter Scarlet, artistic director of the Tribeca Film Festival and our host and co-curator for CINEMONDO, traveled to the Kurdish-held area of Northern Iraq and shot an interview with Iranian Kurd filmmaker Bahman Ghobadi. Bahman Ghobadi first came to the movie world's attention in 2000, when his first feature film, "A Time for Drunken Horses," won the prize for best first feature at the Cannes Film Festival. The film was the first Kurdish language movie ever to gain worldwide attention.

Since then Ghobadi has made three more features, all in the Kurdish language. His most recent, "Half Moon," is currently banned in Iran though it has been shown in festivals around the world. Link TV's 17-minute profile of Ghobadi provides a fascinating introduction to the work of a filmmaker who has riveted audiences around the world with his courageous and deeply affecting films about Kurdish life on the Iranian-Iraqi border.
