The "Wind Carpet", an Iranian-Japanese co-produced film, fittingly celebrates cross-cultural collaboration as a way of getting results and, perhaps more importantly, enriching each other's traditional way of life. Vibrant, good-natured and with a deeply-embedded emotional thread running throughout, this is an accessible family film with much to offer fans of Iranian cinema, fans of Japanese cinema and fans of cinema world wide. The director, Kamal Tabrizi, who is well known for his hit comedy, The Lizard, and the delicately spiritual A Piece of Bread, considers the eternal understandings between two different cultures. Ten-year-old Sakura (Miyu Yagyu) travels with her father Makoto (Takaaki Enoki) from Japan, to Isfahan, Iran, to pick up a Persian carpet designed by her late mother. Although warmly greeted by Makoto's friend Akbar (Reza Kianian), it soon becomes clear that the carpet - needed in 20 days' time for a Japanese street-festival - has not even been started.
Event host actor of the movie, the honorable Reza Kianian, on this evening to introduce and present his memoir of making "Wind Carpet". At the end of the movie, the audience will have an opportunity for direct interaction with the actor about cinematography and theater in Iran.
