Director\u2019s Statement \u2014 Hotel Teimori<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Why does my brain do everything except what I want?”<\/em><\/p>\n

Written by Ramtin Ruzitalab<\/em><\/p>\n

Hotel Teimori<\/em> is a story of return. It follows a man named Mohammad, who once struggled with addiction, and today, in the very place he once sought refuge, has become a shelter for others.\n
He now serves as the head of a DIC center, a space where people with similar wounds gather to rebuild their lives.<\/p>\n

The initial idea for this film came from Elham Dehbozorgi, and Ramtin Ruzitalab, with a human and non-judgmental gaze, walked alongside Mohammad into the quiet, meaningful world he inhabits.\n
The camera in this story is neither a judge nor a rescuer; it simply sits and listens.\n
In silence, alongside those whose voices had gone unheard for years.<\/p>\n

The production of the film began in 2012 and continued until 2018 \u2014 a patient and careful effort to approach the human experience of living on the margins, and to search for hope amid pain.\n
Hotel Teimori<\/em> is not about addiction; it is about humanity, about listening, and about a respect that finds its meaning in silence.<\/p>\n

Idea & Research:<\/strong> Elham Dehbozorgi\n
Written & Directed by:<\/strong> Ramtin Rouzitalab<\/p>\n
