Another Salute

This documentary features Khosro Shakibai, a prominent actor following the Iranian Revolution, and Behrouz Vossoughi, an exiled actor whose work predates the revolution. Abbas Kiarostami, after receiving the Akira Kurosawa Award in 2000, honored Vossoughi by giving away the award, highlighting the significance of Vossoughi's contributions to Iranian cinema.

The film captures Shakibai's determination to meet Vossoughi, despite the risks involved due to the ban on Vossoughi's image and name in Iran. This pursuit represents a profound connection between two generations of Iranian actors under an oppressive regime. Following Shakibai's death in July 2008, director Hossein Khandan was granted permission by Shakibai's family to release the film, adding an emotional layer to the documentary.
