Iranian painter, producer and director, Mitra Farahani has managed with only two feature films to establish herself on the world stage, with a personal poetic style that plumbs the meanders of artistic creation, and the depths of the artist’s mind. In parallel, she produced the last two films of one of the most important filmmakers of all time, Jean-Luc Godard, establishing with him a profound and sincere dialogue that emerges in its complexity in A Vendredi, Robinson – and she restored together with the Cineteca di Bologna the filmography of the other protagonist of A Vendredi, Ebrahim Golestan.
Lago Film Fest in its eighteenth edition decided to pay homage to Mitra Farahani with a fireworks to bring to light this multifaceted personality, capable of moving between the past and the future of cinema, reasoning about art as a living body.
In doing so at Lago Film Fest, Mitra Farahani will present milestones of cinema from the Golestan Film Studio that she has preserved from the ravages of time.
