Shooting through war
Hana Makhmalbaf, 19, is the youngest of the clan of Iranian filmmakers who, alongside Abaas Kiarostami, put Iranian film at the epicentre of world cinema. Her father, Moshen, made The Silence and founded the Makhmalbaf Film School. Her sister Samira helmed the award winning The Apple and her brother Maysam is proving himself a fine editor.
It may come as no surprise then that cinema has been the primary focus of Hana's life. At the age of 7 she appeared in her father's drama A Moment of Innocence and by the time she was 14 she'd directed a documentary that world premiered at the Venice Film Festival. However, her family name is also something of a poisoned chalice; Hana has to carry the burden of expectation that comes with being an eponymous member of the The Makhmalbaf Film House, and endure cynicism about her father being more than just an interested writer, editor, or adviser on his family's films.
