| Publisher Description: Dancing forbidden PARADISE HANDBOOK reveals a concise insight into the genesis of the film Paradise , which director Sina Ataeian Dena managed to realize in Iran over a period of many years without filming permission and on a very small budget. The resulting footage was eventually brought out of the country and processed and finished in Berlin-Babelsberg. Paradise celebrated its -premiere in 2015 in competition at Locarno Film Festival and was subsequently awarded various -prizes. The book reveals a fascinating view of how the film crew dealt creatively with the massive -restrictions on filming in Iran. It breaks down, like a -manual, the logistical, strategic, and technical -efforts underlying the images and scenes in - Paradise that the team applied to circumvent the plethora of restrictions. Created as a docu-mentary feature film, Paradise presents the viewer with seemingly mundane scenes of life. -However, to create the impression of a realistic -representation of everyday life meant that very -complicated precautions had to be taken. Iranian censorship, especially of feature films, scrupulously regulates everything that could somehow be -understood as critique, such as the (absolutely -necessary) concealment of female characters; and to show adolescent girls dancing to pop music in a school bus or during school breaks, is completely unimaginable.
