Poland chargé d’affaires talks about Asghar Farhadi

Poland chargé d’affaires Wojciech Unolt has spoken up about Iran Oscar-winning filmmaker Asghar Farhadi.

Unolt, who attended the 37th Fajr International Film Festival on Friday, said Iranian Oscar-winner Farhadi shows universal issues and concerns in his films.

 “Iran’s cinema is now more into comedy, which is fine. However, as many Europeans know Asghar Farhadi, they follow his movies, such as ‘About Eli’, ‘A Separation’ and ‘The Salesman’. Although Farhadi talks about certain problems in Iranian society, these issues are in fact universal.”

He further added that “Movies and other cultural programs have helped deepen cultural ties between Iran and Poland,” continuing that, “One of the ways to improve our ties is cultural exchanges. Poland’s film week in Tehran is one these great opportunities.”  

The charge d’affaires of Poland also holds a positive attitude toward Iran tourism potential as he commented on it saying that, “Tourism industry could help strengthen bilateral relations in a host of fields. The Polish have no problem visiting Iran. Iran is an attractive and amazing country for tourists from all over the world. They like to come here because they face no restrictions.”

Presided over by award-winning writer and director Seyyed Reza Mirkarimi, the 37th Fajr International Film Festival is currently underway in Tehran until April 26.
