Persian Movie Screening
Diaspora Arts Connection proudly presents a rare screening of Hossein Khandan's "Another Salute" on Sunday, June 24, 2018 at 3:00 pm. The screening will be followed by a Q&A session with the director, Hossein Khandan.
About the film: After receiving the 2000 Akira Kurosawa Award, Abbas Kiarostami immediately gave it away to honor the renowned and exiled actor Behrouz Vossoughi, from the generation preceding the 1979 Iranian Revolution.
Later that year, Khosrow Shakibaei—one of the best actors after the Iranian Revolution—tried to find and meet Behrouz Voussoughi. Any attempt to meet Behrouz Vossoughi, whose name and picture are banned in Iran, would have put Khosrow Shakibaei’s acting career in Iran in jeopardy.
After the unexpected death of Khosrow Shakibaei in July 2008, Hossein Khandan, director of "Another Salute" received consent from Khosrow's family to release the film.
