Selection : Feature films 2019
All the lifes of Kojin
Toutes les vies de Kojin
Diako Yazdani
The director, an Iranian Kurdish and a political refugee in France, returns to Iraqi Kurdistan where he grew-up. He introduces Kojin, a 23-year-old homosexual, to his religious and conservative middle-class family. This creates an opportunity for them to confront their viewpoints and portray a society where homosexuality does not seem to exist.
Diako Yazdani studied cinema for four years at the Institute Karnameh of Art and Culture in Tehran. Under the direction of Abbas Kiarostami, he directed four short films. In 2011, forced to leave Iran, Diako settled in France where he obtained a political refugee status. He has directed two shorts (Les ombres prennent des couleurs dans les miroirs in 2013, Le Deuxième Chemin in 2016). All the Lives Of Kojin is his first feature film.
