Director's statement

I have always hated discrimination and racism . I have taught my mind that there are no boarders among human beings. I began to teach acting to thirty Afghans , because I felt a need to make people hear me. Helping my fellow human beings of any gender without expecting any compensation.

In fact , I'm the same teacher in the story. For several months, I was helping some Afghans practice and perform a theater show. I did it without expecting any wages. At the end , I made a girl's dreams come true. The girl who never thought she could be an actress. For me, " The theater of dreams " is a great hope to reach a world in where there are no boarders.

About "migration"

One of the reasons for migration is the persistence of the crisis in an area. Afghanistan is one of the countries that has been suffering from civil wars for many years and has had many migrants to neighboring countries. Afghan migrants, numbering between 3 and 3.5 million in Iran, are trying to make a living by working hard and exhausting jobs in various parts of the country. One of the concerns of the short film "Theater of Dreams" is the issue of immigrants and their rights.

About "disabilities"

According to the definition of the World Health Organization, disability is considered to be a disturbance in the relationship between the individual and the environment. According to the organization, people with disabilities are the largest minority in the world. Because on average, 10% of the people in any society are disabled. Deafness is mentioned as one of the most common disabilities and the main challenge for the deaf is to create social interaction, so creating a safe environment for social interaction for them can be a humanitarian movement. In artistic and theatrical environments, due to the need for complete communication between people, entering this profession is very difficult for a person with a disability. "Theater of dreams" short film takes a deep look at the dreams of minorities, people with disabilities, immigrants and their challenges.
