Venice Lauds Kiarostami Flick about Film Audience

Iranian director Abbas Kiarostami has received the Glory to the
Filmmaker award for his movie "Shirin" at this year's Venice Film
Festival, while two other Iranian directors also saw their films
featured at international festivals.

"Shirin," which was screened but not marked for competition at the
film festival in Venice, focuses on 113 Iranian actresses who are
watching a film unseen to the viewer.

The film is taken from an 800-year-old Persian love story about
Shirin, the princess of Armenia, and Khosrow, the prince of Persia.
The film, however, only shows the reactions of a female audience
watching a film that only exists in the mind of the viewer.
