 The transition from mainstream television to cinema was a natural progression, and Samadi’s film career has been marked by a strong inclination towards independent and critically acclaimed projects. Her cinema debut is often linked to the 2010 film "Africa," directed by Houman Seyyedi. This film was significant because it bypassed the traditional theatrical release and was distributed directly through the home video network, a trend that was emerging at the time. "Africa" showcased a grittier, more intense side of her acting, often associated with Seyyedi’s signature style of social realism and dark themes, setting her apart from actresses who preferred more commercial fare and signaling her commitment to artistically challenging roles.
