Iran

I am invited to hold a video workshop in Tehran and fly to Iran in summer 2012. Travelling for the first time to the Middle East and especially to Iran, I was very curious about that country. The only picture of Iran which you get in the West is very negative due to restricted media coverage that highlights just the political conflict with Israel and the U.S.

I have a connecting flight from Dubai to Iran and when I get on the plane I am surprised about the mixed crowd on the way to Tehran and about the downbeat lounge music on the speaker system, but it’s an Emirates flight after all...
