On Sunday, September 26, 2010, the latest feature documentary by producer/director Bahman Maghsoudlou was screened at the House of Literature in Berlin in Germany. Iran Darroudi: The Painter of Ethereal Moments, the fourth in a series of films about renowned Iranian artists, was presented by Mr. Maghsoudlou. The Cultural Foundation of Dehkhoda sponsored the program.
After the presentation and a lengthy Q&A session, the audience presented the director with flowers and a dinner was held. The audience was populated by a number of prominent artists, including poet/writer Jalal Sarfaraz, painter Akbar Behkalam, painter/filmmaker Daryush Shokof, filmmaker/actor Farhad Payar, and photographer/editor Daryush Zandi. Also in attendance was Ms. Brigitte Bricout, a prominent art curator, who spoke highly about the film and has selected it for two museums in Germany.
Mr. Afshin Akhavan of the Cultural Foundation of Dehkhoda and a team of young associates did a tremendous job managing the event, coordinating ticket sales, arranging the screening, and giving Mr. Maghsoudlou a wonderful introduction.
This was Maghsoudlou’s third presentation at the House of Literature. The two previous presentations were for a screening of his feature documentary Ahmad Mahmoud: A Noble Novelist and a talk and signing for his book Grass: Untold Stories.
