Biography
Bahman Ghobadi (b. 1969, Baneh, Iran) started out as a documentarist whose Life in a Fog (Zendegi dar meh, 1999) opened the way to world festivals. He acted in Samira Makhmalbaf’s Blackboards (Takhté siah, 2000) and gained recognition as a director with his feature debut A Time for Drunken Horses (Zamani barayé masti asbha, 2000). His war drama Turtles Can Fly (Lakposhtha hâm parvaz mikonand, 2004) took the Golden Shell at the San Sebastian IFF. He also shot a story about Kurdish musicians entitled Marooned in Iraq (Gomgashtei dar Aragh, 2002) and the road movie Half Moon (Niwemang, 2006). After making No One Knows About Persian Cats (Kasi az gorbehaye irani khabar nadareh, 2009), he left Iran to work in Turkey. In the fall of 2012 he began working on a new project in cooperation with Martin Scorsese.
