“Fereshteh Garden” exhibition with the theme of Fereshteh Taerpour’s living books for children was held at National Museum of Children’s Art and Literature of Center for the Intellectual Development of Child and Adolescent.
According to Artmag, quoting the General Directorate of Public Relations and International Affairs of Kanon, the exhibition was created to honor the fruitful and uninterrupted efforts of Fereshteh Taerpour, a filmmaker and writer in the field of children and adolescents.
Fereshteh Taerpour (producer, production manager, screenwriter and screenwriter of cinema), was born in February 1931 and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in English literature. While managing the editing Center for the Intellectual Development of Child and Adolescent from 1982 to 1991, he collaborated with the children and adolescent groups of the first and second channels of Sima as a consultant and writer. Following her literary activity in field of children and adolescents, she has also been active in the field of children’s cinema since 1987.
The House of Literature and Art for Children and Adolescents, of which Taerpour was the director, has so far produced more than 10 movies and about 20,000 minutes of video works.
Her professional career in cinema began in 1988 with the production of enduring film “Golnar”.
She is the first judge of the Children’s Film Festival at the Frankfurt, Cairo and Hyderabad festivals and the first Iranian filmmaker to become a member of the board of the UNESCO-affiliated International Organization of Child Filmmakers (CIFJ) in the last fifty years.
From 2000 to 2002, she was selected and worked as the first female producer, as the chairman of the board of directors of the cinema house.
Fereshteh Taerpour was the mother of Ghazal Shakeri (actor) and wife of Manouchehr Shahsavari (managing director of the Cinema House), who died of corona on the morning of Tuesday, August 17, 1400.
In the “Fereshteh Garden” exhibition, in addition to showing the pictures of the books “The Story of Ahmed and Sarah” and “The Story of Ahmed and the Hour”, the biography, parts of the text of the books and the cover image of other works of this author are also on display.
The title of the exhibition is taken from the title of the program: Planting a tree on the occasion of Fereshteh Taerpour Memorial, which was performed by the environmental group “Nahalat” in collaboration with the National Museum of Children’s Art and Literature of Kanon.
In the “Nahalat” program, a purple tree in memory of this artist was planted in Telo Forest Park, located in the northeast of Tehran, and its document will soon be provided to the National Museum of Children’s Art and Literature.
