Iranian filmmaker Kourosh Ahari has been working in the industry in the US for almost a decade, covering different roles and directing few short movies. His latest work, the horror film “The Night”, is an Iran-us co-production, which he has directed, co-written and edited, bravely shot almost exclusively in Farsi with an excellent Iranian cast and crew. The film is making a bit of history as it is the first US-produced film to receive a license for theatrical release in Iran since the revolution, and also because it’s an extremely rare representative of the horror genre, in a country that produces and watches mainly social dramas and comedies.
Mirrors are fascinating and baffling beasts. Their strong symbolic significance has always inspired artists’ and filmmakers’ imaginative metaphors for self-discovery and introspection. They magically allow us to stare into our own eyes and look behind us, inviting us to go past the shiny surface.
