Cannes Interview: "No one knows about Persian cats"

Award-winning Iranian film-maker Bahman Ghobadi, in Cannes with an underground movie from Tehran, says the country's tight censorship and restrictions mean he is now lost and may not go back. His two-hour movie is a no-holds-barred denunciation of film and music censorship in Iran shot in secret in just 17 days with a mostly non-professional cast working on a shoestring budget.

sad - carzy and unfair - discromination and abuse in iran doesnt stop---- No one knows about Persian cats is a copy / remake of Not an illusion -----Not an illusion is shot over 5 years in tehran from 2003-no one knows about persian cats shot over 17 days in 2008 (as Bahman Ghobadi says ) shot by the same camera man who worked on Not an illusion .
