Bahman Ghobadi was born in 1968 at Baneh, a small town in Iranian Kurdistan.
The young Bahman was already interested in watching films, frequently renting videos, which he watched with the loving complicity of his mother who sometimes told her husband that their son was sleeping, when he was actually out watching films.
Bahman was hired as a technical adviser by Samira and went on to become one of the two main actors, one of the teachers, in Samira Makhmalbaf’s "The Black Board".
