Born in 1951, Derakhshandeh has directed 12 feature-length films and dozens of documentaries over the past four decades.

“Cinema has never been a job for me and I will quit being a filmmaker the moment that I start regarding it a source of income. I love cinema and believe movie theaters are where people can see love,” she had earlier stated.

“In looking at women, we should pay attention to their position, to their presence, not to their gender. A woman is not a tool, she is a human being with an elevated attitude.”

“My films are about those who have been forgotten. Family and children have always been the central themes of my films,” she also noted.
