If Orion is not necessarily to be considered as realistic, then, perhaps we can draw something out of its status as a festival film. If the lack of a permit means that the economic potential of this film in Iran is nil (even though, as a recent book on Iranian cinema makes clear, those who grant filmmaking permits in Iran can often spot and even turn a blind eye to/implicitly encourage subversive material), its aspirations for life lie in both the pirate market and its strange bedfellow, the film festival circuit.
The festival circuit and piracy are arguably two sides of the same coin regarding what they can offer a film in terms of life and audiences. By taking images without authorisation, Esmati is something of a pirate (he takes his camera into the street while other pirates take their cameras into the cinema), who is in turn supported by the festival circuit. Aside from making this parallel, it is important to note that Esmati might well have made this film knowing that it would get on to the festival circuit, not least because Iran is a hot topic now that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is threatening to go nuclear (how could a country so medieval in its treatment of women dare to become a power so modern as to have nuclear?).
No doubt there are problems in Iran and perhaps with Islam in general with regard to the imbalance between the sexes, even if prominent women like Shirin Ebadi might suggest otherwise. But for whatever Orion shows us that is troubling and problematic, we should not, as Western/festival audiences, trust that it is true without at least some questioning of the film. Indeed, given the self-conscious moments in the film (in particular the framing and the jump cuts in the editing suite), Orion itself seems to want us to know that it is presenting us not with reality itself, but with, as per the moments when Elham tries to run away but cannot, a nightmare version of reality.
Mostafa Zamani (Persian: مصطفی زمانی, also Romanized as 'Mostafā Zamāni'; 20 June 1982) is an Iranian actor.[1][2][3] He has received various accolades, including a Hafez Award and two Iran Cinema Celebration Awards, in addition to nominations for a Crystal Simorgh and an Iran's Film Critics and Writers Association Award.
His father is from Mazandran, and his mother is from Gilan. He lived in Gilan with his family. When he turned 7, they moved to Fereydunkenar Mazandaran Province.[4] He is famous for many roles in Iran's film industry, but his memorable acting as Yousef in the Iranian TV series, "Yousef Nabi" (prophet joseph) was the beginning of his stardom.[5][6]
My love for film, movies, and filmmaking stemmed from the early years of me being around 6/7 years old. At the age of 12, I directed my first short film, which was a martial arts film with me directing and starring in it as well as my cousins and brother being the other actors and my mom the cinematographer.
As I grew into my teens, I actively took theatre and drama classes in school and ultimately ended up going to college to major in video production followed by attending CSUN College in California to study for my Masters in Screen Writing.
I was always inspired by the thought of how someone would deal with the notion of losing everything that was so dear to them, what triggered them, when they were at the lowest moment of their life, to turn to suicide, and what stories they had to tell. One day while I was out for coffee, I saw a special ed class on a field trip. One child was visually impaired and had an infectious smile and life seemed to be so beautiful to her. It got me thinking of how these two extreme outlooks on life, if touched, would they be able to influence each other and to what extent.
We actually auditioned more people for the role than I can count, but when I met Kaylynn in person it felt like I was actually meeting Maria. She read for the scene and I got goosebumps. It was abundantly clear to everyone in the room that the role was meant for her.
Opus of an Angel, follows Stephen, a successful cardiologist until a tragic event cost him everything, he held dear. Exactly one year later Stephen has created a sentimental tour of the City of Angels, as a tribute to those he lost. His final stop on the tour will be back at his home, where he plans to take his own life. During his journey, he has a chance encounter with a blind girl, Maria, who has gotten lost in the city. Along the way she effortlessly begins opening his eyes to the boundless beauty of the world and that his life still has value. Her positive perspective forces Stephen to confront his inner demons and the decision to end his life.
I cannot begin to express how amazing it feels to be able to not just have an audience of film enthusiasts and critics see this project, but for them to react to it in such a positive way! So extremely humbled to know that the story touches people how it touched me.
Ms. Zamani began her career as a film critic in 1990, with an A.S.S. in Film and Cinematography from the Tehran Cinema Institute. Since then she has worked with major film magazines in Iran and for the Persian section of BBC Radio and BBC.com.
As a film critic focused on women's issues, Ms. Zamani supervised a special 1996 issue of the magazine World of Pictures devoted to "Women and Cinema." This has become a reference tool for students doing research in the field. In 1997 Ms. Zamani coordinated an international seminar in Tehran on the "Image of Women in Contemporary Cinema." Both Iranian and international film media praised the seminar. She also published an English-to-Farsi translation of Ingmar Bergman's Face to Face.
Ms. Zamani served as an editor for the International Film Guide (2001) and International Film Encyclopaedia (2003). She also wrote numerous film reviews for influential Iranian movie magazines including Film Magazine and Film International.
Today she is founder and executive producer of Caspian Event, an event management consultancy and promoter working with local and international clients. Caspian Event facilitates programs at government-related and private arts centers.
Ali Zamani is a film, commercial and music video director. He spent his formative years in Sweden working at his father's video store where his interest for cinema and visual story telling quickly grew into a passion. By the age of fourteen, Ali would cast his friends to star in his short movies and would get his mother to be the cinematographer. He pursued his love for the art-form at Bournemouth University where he attained his Higher National Diploma in Video Production followed by a Bachelors of Arts degree in Film, Video, Media and Society from Northbrook College, UK. During his time at Northbrook Institute, Ali directed several short films, one of which was chosen to be screened at the Duke of York's Cinema in Brighton. Following this success, he became even more dedicated to furthering his studies, ultimately receiving his Masters in Mass Communication at California State University Northridge. Since graduating, Ali has directed more than 300 music video's, dozens of commercials and 4 award winning feature films internationally over the last 15 years. In 2012 his Commercial for Luxor "The Comeback Kid", and music video "Love Like Magic", were awarded two silver Davey Awards in the Film/Video/TV, and Music Video categories.His previous music video clients include; Snoop Dogg, Enrique Iglesias, T-Pain, Lil Wayne, French Montana, P-Diddy and Drake, just to name a few. Commercial clients include Luxor Casino Hotel, LG, Black Mask Rum, H2 Rose, and more.Ali has until now directed eight feature films that have been distributed worldwide by major studios such as Lionsgate. His motion picture 'Opus of an Angel'; a passion project which he spent 3 years developing and writing is an uplifting drama with a spiritual undertone starring William McNamara and introduces the born-blind actress, Kaylynn Kubeldis. Opus Of An Angel received critical acclaim and was nominated and won numerous awards at various festivals around the world. Ali's fourth movie Angels Fallen, an action adventure movie shot in Macedonia and starring Michael Madsen and Nicholas Turturro was a commercial success as it was released both in the US and internationally in early 2020. Following the success of Angels Fallen, Ali is currently in production stages of the sequel, titled Angels Fallen 2 : Warriors of peace which stars Cuba Gooding Jr., Denise Richards and Randy Couture.

An antiferromagnetically coupled FM/NM/FM (FM = ferromagnet, NM = normal metal) trilayer structure responds to an external magnetic field by the formation of a magnetic-moment spring within the FM layers. We show that the exchange stiffness (Aex) of an FM layer can be determined by fitting the field-dependent magnetization, M(H), of the FM/NM/FM trilayer to a micromagnetic model. Using this method, we have measured the exchange stiffness of thin-film Co alloyed with Cr, Fe, Ni, Pd, Pt, and Ru. The results show that the rate at which a substituent element reduces the exchange stiffness is not directly related to its effect on the magnetization of the alloy. The observed trends have been understood by material-specific modeling based on density functional theory within the local density approximation. The stiffness measurements are in agreement with Brillouin light scattering carried out on thicker Co films.
Formation of the exchange spring in an antiferromagnetically coupled FM/NM/FM film structure when subjected to an external magnetic field as predicted by our micromagnetic model. We assume that the spins in each atomic plane rotate coherently.
