# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Mohsen Makhmalbaf: Salam Cinema + Masterclass
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 03 Oct, 2025 at 05:00 pm – Fri, 03 Oct, 2025 at 07:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Mohsen Makhmalbaf er lykilpersóna í íranskri kvikmyndagerð, löngum hylltur fyrir djarfa frásagnarlist og ekki síður fyrir þátt sinn í að móta hina alþjóðlega viðurkenndu írönsku nýbylgju. Makhmalbaf, sem er sjálfmenntaður kvikmyndagerðarmaður og fyrrverandi stjórnmálaaktívisti, hefur byggt feril sinn á ljóðrænum verkum þar sem spilast saman mannúð og þung, pólitísk undiralda. Þar má telja myndir á borð við The Peddler (1987), Gabbeh (1996) og Kandahar (2001) — sú síðastnefnda færði honum heimsfrægð.

Makhbalbaf hefur alla tíð verið ákafur talsmaður tjáningarfrelsis og hefur óspart beitt mætti kvikmyndalistarinnar í þágu málstaðarins. Fyrir bragðið hefur Makhmalbaf og verk hans ekki átt upp á pallborðið hjá stjórnvöldum í heimalandinu og fjölskylda hans verið í útlegð frá Íran um langt árabil. Nýrri verk Mohsens, á borð við The President (2014), bera einkenni hans; dæmisögulega frásögn og siðferðislega brýningu. Hann hefur veruið heiðraður í Cannes, Feneyjum og Berlín, og stendur enn sem einn af mikilvægustu og hugrökkustu röddum samtímans í heimi kvikmyndanna.

Sýningin byrjar kl. 17:00 og gert verður 15 mínútna hlé áður en Meistaraspjallið hefst kl. 18:30.

Mohsen Makhmalbaf is a seminal figure in Iranian cinema, celebrated both for his bold storytelling and for his role in shaping the internationally renowned Iranian New Wave. As a self-taught filmmaker and a former political activist, Makhmalbaf has built a career on poetic works that blend humanist vision with a resonant political undercurrent. His acclaimed films include The Peddler (1987), Gabbeh (1996), and Kandahar (2001), the latter of which brought him worldwide recognition.

Throughout his career, Makhmalbaf has been a passionate advocate for freedom of expression, harnessing the power of cinema as a force for change. This stance has often placed him at odds with the authorities in his homeland, and his family has lived in exile since the mid-2000s. His more recent films, such as The President (2014), continue to bear his signature qualities: allegorical storytelling and moral urgency. Honored at Cannes, Venice, and Berlin, Makhmalbaf remains one of contemporary cinema’s most vital and uncompromising voices.

The film will start at 17:00 with a 15 minute break before the Masterclass at 18:30.
