Antonioni’s Red Desert (1964) and Adriano Zanni’s Red Desert Chronicles collection, and the event is currently running in Tehran.

Dear Ms. Elisabetta Antonioni

I am Sami Astan. I contacted you previously and once again nice to talk you.

As you may be informed, I held an event about Antonioni’s Red Desert (1964) and Adriano Zanni’s Red Desert Chronicles collection, and the event is currently running in Tehran.

Next event will be done in Isfehan, very internationally famous city in Iran for one month.

As you know Michelangelo Antonioni came to Iran at 1974 and he surprised about how Iranian people knows him and his movies.
