Director | Editor | Writer
Samuel Khachikian (October 21, 1923 - October 22, 2001)
Samuel Khachikian (October 21, 1923 – October 22, 2001) was an Iranian film director, screenwriter, author, and film editor of Armenian descent.
Graduated in history and journalism, he started his career as a stage director for a short period and made his first film, Bazgasht (Return) in 1953.
As a pioneer, he was the first director of Iranian cinema who showed the importance of film directing to the public and was the most popular and influential director.
He made forty films, mostly horror and thriller, including some box office hits, which brought him the ironic title of “Iranian Hitchcock”.
His son Edwin Khachikian is currently a director in Tehran, Iran. Samuel's brother Souren Khachikian was also heavily involved in the production of his films.
Souren's grandson Ara H. Keshishian is currently working as a film editor in Hollywood.
His 1956 film A Party in Hell was entered into the 8th Berlin International Film Festival.
