Director’s Profile:
Born in Isfahan in 1953, Rasoul Sadrameli began his career as a journalist and then won the scholarship for studying sociology in France. He returned to Iran and produced Amir Ghavidel’s RAIN of BLOOD in 1981. One year later, Sadrameli directed his debut feature, THE RELEASE, which was followed by some of the box- office hits of the Iranian film industry – including THE CHRYSANTHEMUMS (an award-winning melodrama at Fajr and Pyongyang) and PAIZAN. His international breakthrough came with highly-acclaimed THE GIRL IN THE SNEAKERS which won many awards in prestigious film festivals as Berlin and Cairo. With the triumph of I’M TARANEH, 15 in Locarno and Rennes, he gained much more recognition in world cinema. His film, MY SECOND YEAR IN COLLEAGE entered main competitive section in Moscow and won the Best Actress Award.
As the managing director of MILAD FILM (a film production and distribution company), he has made many documentaries for TV and for his own company during these years. Sadrameli has also served as a jury member in numerous international and national film festivals.
