Acclaimed Iranian filmmaker Asghar Farhadi recently led a masterclass at the Bosnian Cultural Centre in Sarajevo. The event, moderated by British film critic Neil Young, delved into Farhadi’s personal and professional journey. Discussions covered his formative years, initial experiences with film, and his approach to crafting compelling narratives. A central theme was the responsibility filmmakers hold in their work, reflecting Farhadi’s renowned focus on complex moral dilemmas. The conversation also touched upon his philosophical view that life, and by extension storytelling, is inherently non-linear. The masterclass provided insights into the creative process of one of cinema's most important contemporary voices.
