Registro das filmagens de Às Cinco Horas da Tarde, de Samira Makhmalbaf, programado nesta 27ª Mostra e vencedor do Grande Prêmio do Júri no Festival de Cannes deste ano. No outono de 2002, em Cabul, no Afeganistão, logo após a queda do regime talebã, a diretora Samira Makhmalbaf procura atores entre os habitantes locais para seu próximo filme, sobre uma garota afegã que decide se candidatar à presidência do país. A câmera de Hana observa a sociedade afegã e, em particular, as aspirações das mulheres, a insegurança da população com o futuro e a desconfiança que têm da liberdade que acabaram de reconquistar. Hana é irmã da diretora Samira Makhmalbaf e da roteirista e fotógrafa Maysam Makhmalbaf. As três são filhas do diretor e produtor Moshen Makmalbaf e de Marzieh Meshkini, também diretora. Alegria da Loucura é o primeiro longa de Hana, aos 14 anos, e foi apresentado no Festival de Veneza deste ano, quando ela se tornou a mais jovem diretora a estar na seleção do Festival.

Director Mohsen Makhmalbaf claims to have never seen a movie before making his first film. Doubtful as it sounds, this boast matches perfectly with the controversial artist's personae. Stardust Stricken -- Mohsen Makhmalbaf: A Portrait documents the work of this Iranian filmmaker. After spending time in prison for political dissidence, Makhmalbaf discovered the social potential of the cinema. Some of his projects include Marriage of the Blessed and The Actor. While creating around 20 films, the outspoken director established new ideas about the nature of his work. In this release, Makhmalbaf speaks about art, human behavior, and his evolving fundamentalist beliefs.
