Creation Between Two Surfaces

CREATION BETWEEN TWO SURFACES A Film By Hossein Rajabian Statement I've tried my best to make a film about wisdom, rather than insanity. I firmly believe that we may not believe in wisdom and that's why we continue to live in madness. We have to admit that almost all of us are - one way or another - the inheritors of our predecessors' insanity. To get rid of madness, we have taken a big gamble - i.e. thinking - in our lives. Hossein Rajabian
