Farhad Mehranfar, a graduate of the Cinema College, has already made some 30 documentaries and three feature films, Paper Airplane, Tree of Life, and Legend of Love.
In all his films, he has been concerned with Iranian national culture, thus attempting to unearth and revive what is unknown about this culture.
