"Taq Kasra" is considered the largest brick vault in the world.
The iconic palace is a symbol of the Persian Empire in the Sassanian era (221–654 AD), when a major part of Mesopotamia (modern Iraq) was part of Persia. The mysterious monument was abandoned after the Arab invasion of Persia (Iran) in the 7th century AD but has remained a source of inspiration for archaeologists, poets, and other travelers.
Taq Kasra was in serious danger of ISIS attacks in 2014–16 and this was the main motivation for documentary-maker Pejman Akbarzadeh, based in the Netherlands, to travel to Iraq at that time and film the arch before it was potentially destroyed.
"Taq Kasra: Wonder of Architecture", the first-ever documentary film about this arch, explores various aspects of the site with respected architects, archaeologists, and scholars from around the world. The film also portrays the huge impact of the 20th-century wars and ideological policies on this ancient building.
The film will be screened for the first time in Australia on 30 January 2019.
The event is organised by Deakin University in Melbourne as a part of a two-day symposium on “Cultural Heritage in West Asia”.
The screening will be followed by a Q&A session with the director Pejman Akbarzadeh, moderated by Dr. Ali Mozaffari of Deakin University.
