Overview
When co-directors Guy Nattiv and Zar Amir Ebrahimi embarked on Tatami, about a female Iranian judo player who challenges her country's strict authoritarian rule, they found renewed focus - and emotion - after widespread anti-government protests erupted in Iran: 'We just felt this sudden urgency of telling the story' The death of Mahsa Amini on Sept. 16 would shake Iran to its core. The film, receiving its world premiere in Venice's Orizzonti (Horizons) competition on Sept. 1, almost a year to the day from Amini's death, was already heavy with poignancy and historic weight as the first feature to be co-directed by an Israeli, Guy Nattiv, and an Iranian, Zar Amir Ebrahimi - nationalities that aren't supposed to interact with each other, as it's literally criminalized in Iran, let alone make art together.
