"An exemplary
documentary...beautiful, stirring film."

Filmmaker Aryana Farshad explains, "My documentary breaks through the
stereotypes of the Islamic culture -- more than 2500 years later, in a global
climate where many equate the cultures of the Middle East with fear and
terrorism, MYSTIC IRAN reveals a diverse people seeking spiritual
transformation." Mystic Iran is narrated by Shohreh Aghdashloo,
Iranian Academy Award Nominee for "House of Sand & Fog."
Aryana, who resides in Los Angeles, is in the process of filming
her current project about
Persian poet Rumi. She recently finished filming the 800 year anniversary
celebration of Rumi in Konya/Turkey and will be back to Middle-East locations
this summer to finish Rumi' production. Fluent in English, Farsi and French,
her production company specializes in documentaries, biographical and corporate
films.
