Monday, April 16th, 2007 — Mr. Maghsoudlou was an invited lecturer on Independent Production and acting at the prestigious Acting School of Koln in Germany. A full house of roughly one hundred people gathered in the small lecture hall that afternoon, comprised mostly of students and graduates, with a handful of filmmakers, journalists and school staff. After Rebecca Goerke, one of the students, entertained the audience with a couple of songs, School President Mr. Bernd Captain thanked Mr. Maghsoudlou for his presence and then introduced artist/filmmaker Daryush Shokof, who had recently made a ten-minute film with Melinda Hardorp, a student of the school, called Smoqing. The film was shown, and then Mr. Maghsoudlou delivered his lecture to enthusiastic response from the audience, entertaining a Q&A afterwards.
Smoqing was written and directed by Daryush Shokof, produced by Tom Dukopil and Bahman Maghsoudlou, and will be shown at the New York International Short Film Festival in New York this coming October.
