Amir-Ebrahimi, who won the best actress prize at Cannes, speaks to the power of the European Film Awards contender HolySpider, about an Iranian serial killer who targets women
Then, on Sept. 16, the 22-year-old Mahsa Amini died in custody. She’d been arrested by Iran’s religious police for not wearing her hijab properly. Her death sparked street protests that, despite brutal retaliation by authorities, have grown in size and strength, representing the most sustained challenge to Iran’s theocratic regime in a generation.“Since the protests, people have begun to watch the movie in a different way,” says Amir-Ebrahimi, “I’ve started to watch it in a different way.
I know. I feel so sad about all these events in Iran. But at the same time, I’m really optimistic and think having this movie, which is somehow related to the situation, is a real opportunity to talk about the conditions of women and men in Iran, what is really going on. It was very bizarre: We were at the Toronto Film Festival on the day [Mahsa Amini died]. And it was amazing how people started to watch this movie in a different way. Not only the audience.
The Iranian people have always been afraid of having another revolution, because our revolution [in 1979] was stolen from us and everyone was traumatized by the experience. But there is a younger generation now that sees the regime and its patriarchal society as the problem. It’s very much related to our movie, which talks about the patriarchy, about misogyny, about how women’s bodies are controlled by the state.
