Dans le film Aparat, par Hasan Najmabodi, six teenage boys living in a remote village work together to rent a movie projector. This film is curated for the Planet Classroom Network by KIDS FIRST! Festival du film.
In the beginning of the film, these young boys are seen collecting spare materials and scraps to trade with a vendor who visits their town once a week. One week, the boys notice a projector in the back of the vendor’s truck.
The boys work together to make enough money to rent the projector by doing chores around their village. In the end they are successful and they all are able to watch the film together.
Aparat is an inspiring film that shows how a common goal can bring people together and create collaboration where once there was competition.
La recherche globale pour l'éducation is pleased to welcome Hasan Najmabadi.
Hasan, we love this film. What inspired the theme and what influences does the setting have on the story?
This movie was the story of my childhood. When I was a child, I sold copper wire and iron and used that money to rent movies.
Were there any messages that you particularly wanted to convey to your audience with your film?
My message to the audience is to work hard on whatever you are passionate about.
Any unique experiences or lessons learned from your creative process? What surprised you most during the process of bringing this story to life?
It was very difficult for me to make my actors understand how they should try to watch a movie. This was incomprehensible to them because nowadays they can easily watch movies whenever they want.
Why did you select the film Cinema Paradiso as the movie they finally watch with the projector?
By choosing Cinema Paradiso, I wanted to pay homage to that movie – because my film was like that – about love for cinema.
Sur quoi travaillez-vous maintenant?
I am currently working on a feature film that has a fantasy love story.
Thank you Hasan!
C.M. Rubin and Hasan Najmabadi
