Akram ZaatariObjects of Study Studio Shehrazade/Hashem el Madani1957. Saida, Lebanon“These are negatives that were scratched because of a jealous husband from the Baqari family, who never let his wife out by herself. He was upset to know that she came to be photographed in my studio without telling him. He came asking for the negatives. I refused to give them to him, because they were on a 35 mm roll. In the end we agreed that I would scratch the negatives of his wife with a pin, and I did it in front of him. Years later, after she burnt herself to death to escape her misery, he came back to me asking for enlargements of those photographs, or other photographs she might have taken without his knowledge.”

❝ In quest , do not take victory for granted, do not trust predestination like the yielding, for it is a tradition to be in quest of sustenance. Thus, moderation in search of one’s livelihood comes from chastity which is not on the way of sustenance. By the same token, avarice does not increase sustenance. In deed, sustenance has been predestined and avarice brings about sins. ❞
Hazrat al Hassan (ع)

Roohangiz Saminejad in Dokhtar-e Lor (Lor Girl)—the first sound film ever to be produced in the Persian language. In 1932, it was produced by Ardeshir Irani and Abdolhossein Sepanta under the Imperial Film Company in Bombay.
The movie is about a young teahouse girl from the Lor people that is kidnapped and taken by a band of thieves when she was little. The leader of the thieves, Gholi Khan, is beginning to look at her with interest with her coming of age. At the teahouse, she meets a young man called Jafar. They fall in love, and plan to escape together. Gholi Khan catches on to their plans and beats up Jafar. Jafar and Golnar, the Lor girl, escape to Bombay to find security from the lawlessness of Iran. They later return in the movie to find a different kind of lawlessness than before.
This movie is said to have a political undertone in the plot that suggests the differences under the Qajar dynasty’s rule, and later Reza Shah’s.

❝ The Arabs write of love in boasts, and the Romans of vengeance and battles. The Greeks of wisdom and cunning, and the Persians of fables and riddles; but Israel sings, in psalms and hymns, of God, the Lord of hosts. ❞
