Another Salute


Another Salute

Cast: Behrouz Vossoughi- Khosrow Shakibaei. Director: Hossein Khandan
This documentary has been hidden for 9 years.
Aafter receiving the 2000 Akira Kurosawa Award, Abbas Kiarostami immediately gave it away to honor the renowned and exiled actor Behrouz Vossoughi, from the generation proceeding the 1979 Iranian Revolution.
Later that year, Khosrow Shakibaei—one of the best actors after the Iranian Revolution—tried to find and meet Behrouz Voussoughi. Any attempt to meet Behrouz Vossoughi, whose name and picture are banned in Iran, would put Khosrow Shakibaei’s acting career in Iran in jeopardy.
After the unexpected death of Khosrow Shakibaei in July 2008, Hossein Khandan director of "Another Salute" received consent to release the film from Khosrow's family recently. The screening of this 50 minutes film is around the corner. "Another Salute" as one of the official selected films of the 3rd Noor Film Festival، will be shown along with another film called "Generation of Nowhereland" at 4:30 pm on Saturday May 2, 2009. The location of the 3rd Noor Film Festival this year is at the Fine Arts Theater in Beverly Hills, CA. (8556 Wilshire Blvd). Tel: (310)3600455. Watch the trailer .
