« Mij » signifie « brouillard » en kurde. La société a été créée en 2000 par Bahman Ghobadi

English

MijFilm



Mij means fog in Kurdish. When asked why he chose Mij as the title of the film company he launched in 2000, Bahman Ghobadi responded, « When I think of my homeland of Kurdistan, I think of the snow, the cold, and the fog. The fog is everywhere. I think that life there is also foggy-economically, politically and socially Kurdistan is kept hidden and blanketed under a layer of fog. » The company was established with the primary intention of supporting Kurdish nationalistic cinema. Iran has always been a region that cradled a multitude of different ethnic groups, such as Turkmen, Kurds and Turks, yet the voices of those ethnic groups are rarely expressed in Iranian cinema. MijFilm produces two to three full-length feature films and some short films with ethnic themes each year in the hopes of giving those voices a space to be heard and understood.
