Ahmadi, Manoucher |
Date of Birth
1947 in Isfehan, Iran
Manoucher Ahmadi (1947, Isfahan, Iran)
Manoucher Ahmadi began his film career in 1970.
His great talent and well-timed entry into Iran's 'new wave' of filmmaking quickly won him tremendous success and critical acclaim.
With a keen skill and interest in the truthful portrayal of social realities, Mr. Ahmadi became distinguished as one of Iran's most compelling actors. His numerous starring roles in non-commercial films attest to his success.
The International Film Festival circuit particularly recognized Mr. Ahmadi's talents when they witnessed his moving portrayal of a released prisoner in Marsieh (Requiem), a film that was banned from exhibition in Iran for its all-too-realistic portrayal of poverty.
In 1980, Manoucher Ahmadi moved to the United States to support his family, who were studying there. This hiatus in his career ended in 1997, when he traveled back to Iran to re-establish himself in the Iranian film community.
Still regarded with great respect by his colleagues, he was offered several roles by Iran's most outstanding directors.
After completing two films there, including a starring role and a supporting role, he decided to return to the United States and pursue independent film production.
