Kamran Shirdel

Kamran Shirdel was born in Tehran on 21 June 1939, the son of the journalist Ali-Asghar Shirdel.

Back in Iran, he made documentaries for the administration on a women's prison, a red-light district and a shantytown in Tehran, all banned, and was dismissed from his post. He has made only one fiction feature, and the Italian government has made him a knight of the order of arts.
