Kioumars Pourahmad (Director, screenwriter)

He was a newsmaker in recent months. His latest film, The Night Bus, was among top films of the 25th International Fajr Film Festival, which also took part in the 21st Festival of Films for Children and Young Adults (held in early May in western city of Hamedan). Pourahmad made The Night Bust after Edelweiss and Tower’s Peak, which in critic’s eyes fell short of the director’s capabilities. The success of The Night Bus brought Pourahmad to the fore once more. Last winter and before the beginning of Fajr Film Festival, tribute was paid to Pourahmad at the House of Artists where a documentary about the life and works of Pourahmad was also screened
