Iran’s Ministry of Art and Culture used additional material to create a seven-minute short film intended as a postscript in veneration of both the filmmaker and the Pahlavi regime’s vision of progress. It was a last gasp, released at the dawn of the Iranian Revolution which would see the ultimate downfall of the Pahlavi regime. A decelerated rendition of this short film accompanies an audio interview with an archivist entrusted with preserving the original reels.
