Malo šta je u detinjstvu moglo da je zadivi, pa je zavirila u svet mašte There wasn’t much that could thrill her in her
– Drago mi je što se žene sve više ce- ne, na svim poljima. Sve je više inicijati- ve da ostvare svoje snove. Ali i da nema tog podstreka, svi mi treba da jurimo za onim što želimo od života – tvrdi Pega. Tako je tragala za svojim snovima, u početku nešto drugačije nego danas – kao glumica. Potom je radila na filmskim setovima, muzičkim spotovima, kratkim filmovima... Prva ostvarenja je vezuju za Australiju, koja je obeležila njeno odrasta- nje i sva dalja dostignuća. A kad je kasnije ponovo došla u Iran kao priznati filmski stvaralac, sve ono što je videla oko sebe neizbežno je uticalo na njen rad, pa se vi- še posvetila socijalnim temama. Žeđ za novim idejama i inspiracijom vodila ju je po celom svetu, sve do Dubaija, gde je, kako kaže, dobila širinu i priliku da se razvija i cveta. – Prvo sam pomislila da sam došla na drugu planetu koju ljudi tek nastanjuju. A onda, za sve ovo vreme koje živim ta- mo, Dubai se neverovatno razvio. Mada mi nedostaje australijska priroda, ovde imam sve što mi treba – priča kako se u Dubaiju u vazduhu oseća ono nešto što privlači ljude sa svih meridijana, bilo da dođu kao turisti ili da reše da ostanu. Sreć- na je, kaže, jer je u srži te primamljive ze- mlje težnja za napredovanjem. To je za- jedničko njoj i Dubaiju. Zato planova ima pregršt, pre svega da i dalje stvara filmove, kao i da osvaja nagrade, jer to je znak da je njena poruka otišla u svet. Njen film Members of the Resistance bio je i u selekciji, i pobednik brojnih festivala, a ostvarenje I am Yazidi rađeno je u koprodukciji s Bi-Bi-Sijem. My Film Works , onlajn platforma za nezavi- sne filmske stvaraoce, trenutno ima više od 1.000 naslova iz 45 zemalja na 30 jezi- ka. Ovaj projekat Pege Gaemi je zapravo kombinacija LinkedIna i Vimea i na jed- nom mestu sabira kratke, dokumentarne, profesionalno producirane filmove, mu- zičke spotove.
childhood, so she turned to the world of fantasy
“I first thought I’d come to another planet that people are only just starting to populate. And then, throughout all the time that I’ve live there, Dubai has developed incredibly. And although I miss Australia’s nature, here I have everything I need,” she says, adding that there she can feel in the air that something which attracts people from all meridians, whether they come as tourists or opt to stay. She says that she’s happy because the pursuit of progress is at the core of this entic- ing country. This is something that she shares with Dubai. That’s why she has plenty of plans, firstly to continue creating films, but also to win awards, as that represents a sign that her message has made it out into the world. Her film “Members of the Resistance” made it into official selections and won in various film fes- tivals and her creation “I Am Yazidi” was made in co-production with the BBC. “My Film Works”, the online plat- form for independent filmmakers, cur- rently has over a thousand titles from 45 countries in 30 languages. This Peg- ah Ghaemi project is actually a combi- nation of “LinkedIn” and “Vimeo”, and in one place brings together short films, documentaries, professionally produced films and music videos.
And Pegah has also nurtured her own dual nature since an early age. With origins in a Muslim family, she al- so attended a Catholic school and grew up in two completely different worlds. “I’m glad that women are increas- ingly valued in all fields. There are ev- er more initiatives for them to realise their dreams. But even if there was no such incentives, we should all strive for what we want out of life,” she insists. That’s how she chased her own dreams, which were initially some- what different than they are today –
as an actress. She then worked on film sets, music videos, short films... Her first creations link her to Australia, which marked her upbringing and all further achievements. And when she later returned to Iran as a rec- ognised filmmaker, everything that she saw around her in- evitably influenced her work, leading to her becoming in- creasingly dedicated to so- cial issues. Her thirst for new ideas and inspiration led her around the world, all the way to Dubai, where – as she says – she gained breadth and an opportu- nity to grow and flourish.
OBOŽAVAM BEOGRAD Pega Gaemi je prošle godine posetila Srbiju prvi put, a utisci su sjajni. – Obožavam Beograd! Sve mi se svidelo... Čini mi se da je kultura vr- lo slična persijskoj, koja je obeležila moje detinjstvo. I ljudi, i hrana, i atmosfera su vrlo primamljivi. A iako je ovde bilo mnogo bolnih isto- rijskih događaja, ljudi idu dalje, smeju se. I ADORE BELGRADE Pegah Ghaemi visited Serbia for the rst time last year, and her impres- sions were excellent. “I adore Belgrade! I liked everything... It seems to me that the culture is very similar to the Persian one, which marked my childhood. The people, food and atmosphere are all very enticing. And although there have been many painful historical events here, the people move forward, and smile.”
