Iranian art fest in Moscow

A weeklong festival of Iranian art and culture has opened at Moscow’s Maly Theater, less than a day after a showcase of Iranian films got underway at the Khudozhestvenny movie theater in the heart of the Russian capital. The program features five films made by contemporary Iranian filmmakers, which have already won kudos at a variety of international film festivals. In a separate development, Muscovites had a rare chance to enjoy a display of works by Iranian masters of turquoise, enamel and stone art. TASS,Source: Voice of Russia
