Born in Tehran, Bahman Farmanara is one of the founding figures of the Iranian New Wave of the 1970s. As well as being an acclaimed director, he is an influential screenwriter, producer, and distributor who is responsible for bringing many key international films to our shores. During his stay as the JBFC International Filmmaker-in-Residence, he will present six of his own works and a selection of documentaries about his homeland.
Bahman Farmanara’s residency at the JBFC is made possible by the International Fellowship for Understanding through Film, developed through a grant from philanthropist Kathryn W. Davis and inspired by her lifelong efforts to create a more harmonious world. The fellowship brings renowned filmmakers from abroad to live, work, and teach at the JBFC.
