Danish film-maker Berit Madsen recognised her documentary subject almost as soon as she set eyes on her. <\/p>\n
Sepideh Hooshyar is passionate about stars and inspired by Albert Einstein. <\/p>\n
She didn't necessarily have a film in mind, she says, when she heard about a small town in the south of Iran where an astronomy club was thriving, and schoolchildren went out to go stargazing. <\/p>\n

She was already making a trip to the country, she says, \"and I was just so curious, so I decided to change my schedule, and see what was going on\". <\/p>\n
\"I met Sepideh, and from that moment of fate, I knew that there was a film; that I needed to follow that girl and see what was going to happen in her life.\" <\/p>\n
Sepideh, Reaching For The Stars is the story of Sepideh Hooshyar, who was 14 when Madsen met her; a girl in a chador lugging around a large telescope more than half her height. <\/p>\n
