Tahmineh Milāni is a film
director, screenwriter and producer women, born in Tabriz, Iran. She's married
with the Iranian actor Mohammad Nikbin.
She graduated in
architecture, in the University of Science and Technology in Tehran in the 1986.
Thirteen years later she
started working for the media as a script girl and an assistant director in a
screen workshop. Then, she started her career as movie director.
She's known for including
women's rights and the 1979 Iranian Revolution in her films. The most shocking
Milani's film is "What did you do again" that talks about a young
girl with the power to change her family just talking to herself. Iranian
censors forced her to replace the girl for a boy and she was accused of going
against the current of the system. She reflected the criticisms saying that men
were scared of seeing their own wives rising up against the system because of
her films.
However, Milani's most
famous film is "Two Women" and "Unwanted Woman" where she
adopted a more melodramatic style and focused more on grander issues.
She won many awards as the best film award at Los Angeles Film Festival
for "Unwanted woman".
