Filmography
• 1960 "Takht-e Jamshid" (Persepolis) • 1965 "Siavash dar Takht-e Jamshid" (Siavash in Persepolis) • 1973 ''Pesar-e Iran az Madarash Bi ettela' Ast'' (Iran's Son is Unaware of His Mother) ==Siavash at Persepolis==
Siavash at Persepolis
Siyavosh at Persepolis tells the story of the Crown Prince of Iran, Siyavosh, who after a falling-out with his father leaves Iran and settles in Turan. There he marries the daughter of King Afrasyab and is killed in a plot by the king's scheming and jealous son. The film combines this ancient story with documentary-style scenes of foreign tourists visiting the ruins of Persepolis in the present, creating a work in which past, future, present, legend, theater and a myriad of filmic forms are combined in a dense intertextuality that was new to Iranian cinema. ==References==
