The Trans-Iranian railway: soon at the cinema!

The Royal Family asked to create cinema products that could document events like rites, court receptions and religious ceremonies. These was very common and they would be projected during private events with only members of the Royal family involved.

This is why among the many people engaged in the history of the Trans-Iranian, Mo’Tazedi, the photographer of the Royal Family, was always present. He was asked by the latter to film a documentary on the construction of the railway, which is currently very hard to find. If anyone knows where to find it, we would really be happy to include it in our cinema section!
