Forbidden Womanhood

Written and directed by Maryam Zahirimehr

Original Music by Milad Movahedi



Mahi, a 12-yr girl, feels strange emotional and physical changes as she enters puberty and gets involved in an innocent love triangle. Her mom's deliberately wrong answer to her question: ''how a woman gets pregnant?" Devastates her childhood forever. Mahi continues suffering from strange pains. Her parents continue to ignore her physical and emotional changes. Based on her mom's wrong explanation she believes that she is pregnant and naively confides in her girlfriend. Her friend, Sara spreads the secret in the village and the outraged villagers start assaulting Mahi for the dishonor she brought to the village and her family. They accuse her of having sexual relationships with two boys. An autistic boy who never speaks and another lover who came from the city and seems to have assaulted Mahi sexually. Mahi finds herself alone and under threat of violence, punishment, isolation, ignorance, and abuse.

The COVID era was a challenging time for many, including myself. During this period, I had the opportunity to collaborate on a project introduced to me by Maryam, the director. Her film deeply resonated with me, we managed to bring the vision to life.

Forbidden Womanhood tells the story of countless girls and women who have faced judgment and hardship within society. Set in a small village in Iran, the narrative inspired me to compose a score blending the richness of a classical orchestra with the depth of traditional Iranian percussions and instruments.

I am especially grateful to the exceptional musician Pasha Hanjani, whose mastery of the NEY brought a profound and unique dimension to the music. His contribution elevated the emotional impact of the score, creating an unforgettable auditory experience.

OPERATION RED SEA (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) 紅海行動 （電影原聲帶 ） Director Dante Lam   林超 贤 Original Music by Elliot Leung 梁皓 一   Plaza Mayor Company Ltd Operation Red Sea ( Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) on Itunes   It is an incredible honor to compose the score of "Operation Red Sea." Throughout the process, I was able to work very closely with Director Dante Lam. Combined with his fresh perspectives and the state-of-the-art visuals, I was able to draw forth my best creative juices to enhance the cinematic experience. The beginning of my composing thought sequences always began with how the team of 8 special forces members worked together, putting their own egos aside to accomplish the same goal. While both action and plot were stunning, this film was more about the being intrinsically human and the fulfilment of one's calling to me. Easy to say, I wholeheartedly loved every minute of working with Director Lam. See you guys in the cinema...
