Nahid Persson (May 24th, 1960, Shiraz, Iran )
Nahid Persson is an award-winning Iranian-Swedish filmmaker and director.
Her most famous documentary films are Prostitution Behind the Veil, My mother - A Persian Princess, The End of Exile, The Last Days of Life and The Queen and I.
In 2007, after having been arrested and briefly imprisoned by the authorities in Iran for allegedly having shamed her native country with her accurate and in-depth portrayal of two prostitutes in Tehran (Prostitution behind the Veil, 2004,) she completed the documentary Four Wives - One Man under difficult and dangerous conditions.
The film which portrays a polygamous family south of Shiraz, was smuggled out of Iran and finally edited in Sweden.
As of November 2008, Persson Sarvestani recently finished the production of The Queen and I, a 90-minute documentary in which the director's year-long, complex relationship with the Iranian former Empress Farah Pahlavi is examined.
The film had its North American premiere at Sundance Film Festival in 2009 and is under worldwide release in conjunction with the 30-year anniversary of the Islamic Revolution in 2009.
Persson Sarvestani has received several awards for her films. The Last Days of Life received the Swedish Cancer Foundation's (Cancerfondens) Journalist Prize in 2002.
The film Prostitution Behind The Veil, a controversial and painfully revealing account of the lives of two prostitutes in Tehran, received an International Emmy nomination, as well as the Golden Dragon at the Krakow Film Festival, Best International News Documentary at the TV-festival 2005 in Monte Carlo, as well as The Crystal Award (Kristallen) by SVT (Swedish State Television) and the Golden Scarab (Guldbaggen) by the Swedish Film Institute in 2005.
Persson Sarvestani also shares TCO's (Tjänstemännens Central Organisation) 2005 Cultural Prize with the author Marjaneh Bakhtiari.
