Iranian calligraphy film ‘Noqte’ to premiere on Russian TV
The film, directed by Emir Valinejad, will premiere in Russia on August 12, 2024, at 11:00 a.m. Moscow time, with repeat broadcasts scheduled for August 17, IRNA reported.
‘Noqte’, which translates to “dot” in English, explores the history and beauty of Iranian calligraphy, a sacred art form rooted in the tradition of transcribing Qur’anic texts. The film highlights how this art form has transcended its religious origins to find expression in various artistic fields, including architecture, painting, and miniature art.
“Iranian calligraphy is a special world,” said Valinejad, emphasizing the unique nature of this artistic tradition. “We are honored to have the opportunity to showcase ‘Noqte’ on TV BRICS and introduce viewers to this beautiful art form. We hope that the film will spark an interest in audiences to learn more about Iranian culture and its rich artistic heritage.”
‘Noqte’ has already received critical acclaim, winning awards at prestigious film forums such as the XXXII International Film Forum “Golden Knight” and the International Competition VIVA 2020. It was also nominated for the XXI National Award “Laurel Branch”.
The film, produced in 2020 with support from the Ibn Sina Islamic Culture Research Foundation, will be available in multiple languages, including English, Chinese, Spanish, and Portuguese, on the TV BRICS portal following its television premiere.
