The news department of the 42nd FIFF reported that the film “Breakfast with Giraffes” had its press conference on Saturday, February 3 following the screening in Milad Tower.
The attendees were Soroush Sehhat (director), Mostafa Ahmadi (producer), Khashayar Moeidian (editor), Arman Fayyaz (cinematographer), Mahyar Alizadeh (composer), Amir Hossein Haddad (set designer) and Iman Safaei (writer).
At the beginning of this program, the director of this film, Sehhat, said that he has been working with Safaei for years and all the work they have done so far has been based on their tastes, which is what they believe in.
According to Sehhat strange enough ironic itself modern world what we write is only our ideology may or may not be satiric. We had three stories in mind; one being about friendship between several men; second story was about friendship between several women; third story dealt with friendship between several women and men.
We hope to do the second and the third script too; but for now let’s talk about Breakfast with Giraffes whose theme was forgiveness and adventure of a man-to-man friendship that began at wedding. On his experiences’ impact on work he said: “Real life events books we read movies we watch – all these things affect our minds”.
Alizadeh later added: “The atmosphere of Sehhat’s works is different from other films or series” because according to him it took me four days only since I joined late. Thanking Elahe Izadi for helping edit this piece Moeidian said my taste has become closer with Soroush’s so try to reach rhythm inside our minds together.
Fayyaz spoke next describing what being partaking this movie meant for him as a cameraman; he called Sehhat great human being who makes dark spots within us shine brighter.“I just went the way Soroush Sehhat showed me.”
Haddad shared his thoughts on working behind scenes with Sehhat. He revealed that it was enjoyable but also hard because understanding Sehhat’s mentality is very difficult. When asked about “dark ending” of movie, Sehhat replied saying in my opinion the film ended with forgiveness so last 10 minutes were expressing my “idea.”
This director also said basically I like my works to be suitable for family viewing. Ahmadi added that he wished his name could have been next to Soroush’s. Jamshidi joined press conference via phone call; actor mentioned how this wasn’t their first collaboration together they previously worked on series named Pezhman where according to him “Soroush brought me into art world”
Sehhatt said beginning might seem like Hangover which was an accident because we realized later but didn’t mean to do so. Safaei claims this film not seen by sehhatt when similarity mentioned
Sehhat said, “Just because we talk about drugs in the movie it don’t mean we condoning it. If anything, we trying to show that’s where the problem lies.” On the casting choice, the director said they needed familiar faces because there were only six characters.
“The ending of this film isn’t bitter,” he said again. “Every ending is bitter overall.” “What sweet ending in life do you know?
