TakePart: Interview with Saeed Shafa


By: Brannack McLain

Editor’s note: We're publishing a series of interviews with filmmakers and others who work in Iranian cinema. Many of our subjects were involved with the Iranian Film Festival last year. Today's interview is with Iranian born Saeed Shafa, who currently lives in the United States and is the founder of both the Iranian Film Festival – San Francisco, which will enter its 4th year this September, and the longer-established Tiburon International Film Festival.
