Prague hosting Iran film posters

A film poster shop in the Czech Republic has been hosting a collection of posters for Iranian movies.

The Terry Posters shop in the capital city of Prague is hosting the collection of 57 Iranian movie posters from late December 2018. It will continue until the end of January 2019.

The shop is hanging the posters on the sidelines of the 8th edition of the ÍRÁN:CI, the Festival of Iranian Films in Prague, Brno and Bratislava, and in cooperation with Farsi Cinema Center (FCC).

The select movies are productions of the Institute for the Intellectual Development of Children and Young Adults from the oldest movie made to the ones produced in mid-90s.

The collection’s curator, Ali Bakhtiari, has started it since mid-2000s based on his personal taste in movies.

The display includes posters of a number of movies by Abbas Kiarostami, including ‘A Wedding Suit’ (1976), ‘Homework’ (1989), and ‘Life, and Nothing Else’ (1992) as well as some other titles.

The Terry Posters shop was opened in November 2005 when American-born British screenwriter and film director, Terry Gilliam, led the ceremonial opening in person, the event's website wrote.

Since then, Terry Posters became the biggest shop with film posters in the Czech Republic, with more than 6000 original author graphic posters in its database.
