France to pay tribute to late filmmaker Mehrjui
The Forum des images in Paris is slated to commemorate the late Dariush Mehrjui by screening his renowned film ‘Hamoun,’ made in 1989, and regarded as one of the most significant works in the history of Iranian cinema.
According to ISNA, the Forum des images, in collaboration with the Iranian Cinema Society, saddened by the loss of Mehrjui and his wife on October 14, has chosen to pay homage to the acclaimed director through a special evening event.
Mehrjui had previously been an honorary guest of the Forum des images in 2003 as part of a unique program, “Portraits of Tehran.”
The program, scheduled for November 6 in Paris, will commence with a discussion about Mehrjui’s contributions to cinema. The panel will feature the participation of Fabien Gaffez, director of art at the Forum des images, Agnès Devictor, a lecturer and Iranian cinema specialist, and Nader Takmil Homayoun, director and head of the Iranian Cinema Society.
