Tahereh Hassanzadeh

 

Tahereh Hassanzadeh is an Iranian director who’s project Virgin recently got selected for the AND Fund 2008. Virgin looks at the question of virginity for Iranian girls and explores the medical process to prove that the hymen is intact before marriage.

What does being selected for the AND Fund mean to you ? It was really a relief to finally get some support for this film. I have been looking for financers for five years and eventually I had to take a personal loan from a friend to be able to make it. Now I am able to finish it, and actually it’s only the subtitles which are missing now.

Why this topic ? I came to the film world from medicine. Working as a midwife I met single girls that had problems because they had lost their virginity for some reason, and I am very happy that I can now inform others about it. It’s important to make a difference between girls who lost their virginity because of a failed marriage or even a disease and, for example, a prostituted woman.

Why do you think your project was selected ? I think the jury selected the film because they liked my special point of view on the subject. I also think they liked the sound in the rough cut I brought. I was selected for a sound master class at the festival in Pusan.
