Mania Akbari's artistic excellence spans various media - she is an accomplished artist, a lauded actress and an award winning film maker.
Mania Akbari starred in Abbas Kiarostami's "Ten", the legendary filmmaker's interpretation of Akbari's life and a perfect example of art imitating life imitating art. In 2004 Mania Akbari directed, co-wrote and co-produced "20 Fingers" which won the prize for best film in the Digital section of the Venice Film Festival. Following that success Akbari faced a personal challenge after being diagnosed with cancer. Akbari documented her battle against the disease in the film "10+4" which revolved around the filmmaker's uncertainty as to whether she would live to finish the film. "10+4" was screened at numerous film festivals and received the prize for best film at both the Nantes Film Festival and the Kerala Film Festival.
