Director Statement

Gliese 667 is a mid length trilogy movie about a woman living in three separate parallel worlds. The main character faces adverse circumstances through her sensational challenge in order to choose between her death or life. Despite all restrictions imposed by the Iranian regime which has made this project unallowable, it illustrates a realistic likeness of the struggles of lonely and feeble mothers in Iran. This point is reflected especially in the part one of the trilogy, Ayineh (The Mirror).

Our Ideology of making this project is formed by the experiences of Lev Kuleshov (1899–1970). We decided to narrate triple separate stories with various ordering to achieve different prospect at the stage of comparison. We believe that we have reached this goal at the end of the process.
