Naser Taghvai (July 10, 1941, Abadan, Iran)
Nāsser Taghvāí (born 1941) is an Iranian film director and screenwriter.
Born in Abadan, Iran, he graduated from the Faculty of Literature in Tehran University.
After early experiences as a storywriter, he began filming documentaries in 1967.
He made his debut, Tranquility in the Presence of Others, in 1970 and gained the attention of Iranian critics.
His concern for the ethnography and atmosphere of southern Iran is notable in his films.
Iranian cinema, I suppose, basically depends on auteur films; all the triumphs of our cinema, I mean, are laid in the films in which filmmakers expressed their own ideas.
Most of his works have been based on novels. Captain Khorshid (1986) is an adaptation of Ernest Hemingway's To Have and Have Not, which won the third prize at the 48th Locarno International Film Festival in Switzerland in 1988.
In 1999 he directed a segment of the film Tales of Kish, which was nominated for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
