Summary:
[Images from the Qajar Dynasty] "A short documentary made while the filmmaker was preparing his acclaimed feature Once upon a time, cinema. The Qajar (aka Ghajar) family ruled Iran from 1785-1925. The film shows rare photos and early films shot at the Shah's court, along with family portraits."--Container. School blown away by the wind: "The school for nomad children seen in the film Gabbeh, is the subject of this heartwarming drama. An old man visits the classroom, and at first mistaken for an inspector, eventually is revealed as a former teacher of nomad children who has stopped by to refresh his memories of this happy time in his life"--Container.
