Mohsen Makhmalbaf whom is busy making the movie “The Door” on an island encounters many problems for making the movie with a 35 mm camera. The lack of facilities, censorship control on cinema equipment and the difficulty of working with non-professional and local actors have made him tired until his friend comes to see him with a Handy-cam. Makhmalbaf leaves the film-taking scene with a professional camera to go to the election scene in Tehran with his friend’s handy-cam…
