The director of the movie "Penalty" considered herself a theater artist and continued: "I consider myself a theater artist before I am a cinema director and I believe that cinema is nourished by theater."

Ensieh Shah-Hosseini said: "A land that does not have good shows, good actors and good artists, will train aggressive and dreamless people."

She added: "If the artists of a country are not supported, the people of that country will be empty of motivation and dreams and will not become jihadists and revolutionaries; If we have Qasem Soleimani today, it is because he had a dream since he was a child."
