Vladimir van Wilgenburg  (KurdishMedia.com): Lauand Omar (25)
was born in Beirut, Lebanon, and grew up in North Africa and
Germany. He is the third director to ever shoot a film in South-
Kurdistan. His award winning drama movie, "Bekhal's Tears" takes
a look at women's rights and honor crimes in South-Kurdistan.
His movie has sparked some controversy in the Kurdish region
after it was shown on Kurdish television. Currently he is
working on a new movie called Mistress of Mesopotamia and he is
looking for new actors and talents. Also this movie will be
controversial for the Kurdish society, since it also includes
love scenes. In this interview he explains more about his movies
and life.  -How did you start with making movies? And are you
inspired by Kurdish movie directors?  I've been obsessed with
movies since I was a little child. I started acting at the age
of 15 in some German theatres, but then got interested in the
other side of making movies, beh
