1 form y separately published work icon When Pomegranates Howl Grânâz Moussavi , ( dir. Grânâz Moussavi ) Australia Afghanistan : Parvin Productions Sterga Productions , 2021 23253932 2021 single work film/TV

'The second feature by acclaimed female poet-writer-director Moussavi presents a picture of Kabul we rarely see. Conflict and suffering are not the story's main focus. In the spotlight is the beaming, hopeful and determined face of Hewad, a nine-year-old kid who pushes a rickety cart of goods all over town to raise money. Having lost both his father and brother, this lively lad with a smart business brain has assumed the role of family breadwinner. After meeting an unnamed Australian photographer, Hewad's dream of becoming a movie star may not seem so unlikely after all. This affecting slice-of-life tale is beautifully filmed and wonderfully well performed by a non-professional cast. Based on real events.'

1 3 form y separately published work icon My Tehran for Sale Grânâz Moussavi , ( dir. Grânâz Moussavi ) Australia : Cyanfilms , 2009 Z1813585 2009 single work film/TV (taught in 1 units) Marzieh is a young female actress living in Tehran. The authorities ban her theatre work and, like all young people in Iran, she is forced to lead a secret life in order to express herself artistically.

At an underground rave, she meets Iranian born Saman, now an Australian citizen, who offers her a way out of her country and the possibility of living without fear.

Shot entirely on location in Tehran, My Tehran for Sale tells the story of modern day Iranian youth struggling for cultural freedom. It brings to the screen never before seen images of modern urban Iran, and reveals how young Iranian people live behind closed doors.
