An interview with director and screenwriter Ali Abbasi, member of the international jury at the 21st Marrakech IFF
A very interesting conversation with Danish-Iranian director and scriptwriter Ali Abbasi, who is a member of the international jury who will bestow the Golden Star of the 21st Marrakech International Film Festival.
The author of “Shelley” (2016), “Border” (2018, Un Certain Regard Award for Best Film), “Holy Spider” (2022, Best Actress in Cannes for Zar Amir Ebrahimi) and more recently the Cannes-premiered “The Apprentice” (2024), a keen analyst of the concept of monstruosity who has faced bans left and right with his latest films, regrets that debate about his work as a filmmaker is always brought to a political territory, and its interpretation limited by limited perceptions.
