| Biography | |
Mansour Ghadarkhah was born in 1956 in Iran. As an adolescent, he was engaged in a number of artistic endeavors in theater, and films, and despite limited means he embarked on making several 8mm films, acting, and directing theatrical plays. His success in these endeavors launched his professional career, which ranked him as the best actor and a popular theatrical director for 2 consecutive years in his birthplace of Isfahan (one of Iran's largest states).
Ghadarkhah immigrated to Germany after a brief stay in India. He began furthering his education in cinematography and graphics, and expanded to script writing, direction, and cinema composition. While in college, he excelled in photography, short subject films, documentaries, and wrote several scripts. Larger projects appeared on the horizon when Mansour won several awards in Germany's artistic festivals.
His directorial debut outside of Iran was the 1992 "Eye to Eye" (Auge Um Auge (1992)). This film caught the interest of the European media and famed film critics such as the renowned German writer-director Bernhard Wiki, and won 2 awards in various European film festivals.
Mansour was recognized in Europe as the most active Iranian filmmaker in cinema and television productions. In an attempt to silence him, the regime in Iran made a steady effort to gain his cooperation and consent. But, Ghadarkhah, as an Iranian and a German citizen, has persistently believed that any cooperation and compromise with such an infamy is a betrayal to humanity, and despite the pain and sufferings with such positions, he has used every opportunity to expose the tyranny in Iran.
Some of his other films are: "Farewell Grandmother," "Tracks of Terror," "In the Company of the Poorest of the Poor," and "From Kali to Calcutta.".
During many interviews with CNN, NBC, and various German broadcasters, Mansour unveiled many threats of terrorism by the regime in Iran against himself and other freedom-loving Iranians. As the result, the regime openly demanded that the German government fully restrict Mansour's professional activities. The German government bowed to such a shameless demand, and Ghadarkhah's professional life in Germany came an absolute halt.
In conjunction with his talents and abilities in writing, directing, cinematography, and editing, Mansour possesses immense interests in photography and digital art. He has revealed this interest in books and drawings that are accessible on his website.
Ghadarkhah has written several screenplays about the epic stories of both contemporary and ancient history with the assistance of a number of well-known Iranian historians. The realizations of such genres aid in the better understanding of Islamic fundamentalism and terrorism (Funda-terrorism) as a global concern, and as a path to its permanent defeat. |
