An Iranian producer Fereshteh Taerpur 69, who was famous for her children\u2019s films, died due to coronavirus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She was released from a Tehran hospital two days before her death, however, she was hospitalized again when her condition became critical, and shortly thereafter she died, Persian media announced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She was one of those Iranian personalities who made many efforts to convince medical officials to provide COVID-19 vaccine for Iranian cineastes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Majlis speaker, culture minister, director of Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting, and many other officials have issued messages of condolences over Taerpur\u2019s death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Born in 1952, Taerpur had a BA in English. Working for a women\u2019s magazine made her more interested in writing, leading her towards children\u2019s issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Consequently, her desire for children\u2019s issues led her to the Institute for Intellectual Development of Children and Young Adults (IIDCYA), where she served as the director of the Writing and Editing Department. She also worked as a writer and advisor for IRIB\u2019s Channel 1 and Channel 2 at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a producer, he began her career in cinema with \u201cGolnar\u201d in 1988. The film was written and directed by Kambozia Partovi who also passed away from COVID-19 in 2020. Taerpur\u2019s daughter, Ghazal Shakeri, played the title role in the fairy tale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPatal and Small Wishes\u201d was her second film directed by Masud Keramati in 1989. Two years later, she worked with director Ali Sajjadi-Hosseini in \u201cOld Men\u2019s School\u201d, which secured her place as a prolific producer in children\u2019s cinema.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, she also collaborated with director Negar Azarbaijani in \u201cFacing Mirrors\u201d, a narrative featuring a transgender main character, and director Sirus Alvand in the family drama \u201cThe Second Wife\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Later on, Taerpur\u2019s reluctance to work with Iranian filmmakers in children\u2019s cinema led her to concentrate more on family films. Consequently, she produced \u201cGoodbye Shirazi Girl\u201d directed by Afshin Hashemi in 2019 and \u201cInstruments Out of Tune\u201d directed by Ali Hazrati in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She is survived by her husband, Manuchehr Shahsavari, who is also a producer, and her daughters Ghazal, Asal and his son, Ali.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
