Mahnaz Mohammadi
Biography
Iranian director Mahnaz Mohammadi is well-known for her provocative documentaries on social issues as well as her tireless activism. In 2003 she wrote and directed her first short documentary, Women without Shadows. Her award-winning feature documentary Travelogue premiered in 2010 at the “A Day in Tehran” event in Paris, which became one of the reasons for Iranian authorities to ban Mohammadi from leaving the country and from producing any more films. In 2014 she was arrested and after two years was released, where she went on to work on her first feature film, Son-Mother, with Mohammad Rasoulof.
