Negahdar Jamali has been making western films in Iran for 35 years. Not screened in normal theaters, and with few?or no?sponsors let alone producers, his films are made and watched by and with people in his neighborhood. This engaging documentary pays witness to this passionate director making his beloved westerns while earning a living. Director Kamran Jamali always introduces himself by saying, “My name is Negahdar Jamali and I make westerns”. This borrows from Hollywood icon John Ford’s famous comment before the Director’s Guild when Hollywood found itself caught in the communist witch-hunts of the 1950s. Resisting the political suppression of film directors, this statement directly applies to Jamali as well, who is showing his genuine love of cinema through his western films. The film is filled with unreserved fervor for a man who cannot stop making films despite many realistic problems, among them social prejudices, family conflicts and making ends meet. (CHO Young-jung)
