Iran's stage and costume designer Farsi dies
TEHRAN, July 10 (MNA) -- The Iranian cinema stage and costume designer Farhad Farsi has died at 59 in Sweden. He was suffering from colon cancer.
“He was suffering from colon cancer that was also threatening his stomach,” his friend Gholamreza Nami told the Persian service of ISNA on Saturday, adding, “He left for Sweden to continue his treatment and died there.”
Farsi, an outstanding designer in Iranian cinema, was a double winner of Crystal Simorghs from the Fajr Film Festival for stage design in “The Last Act” by Varuj Karimi-Masihi (1991) and “Once Upon a Time, Cinema” by Mohsen Makhmalbaf (1992).
Farsi was born in 1950 in Isfahan. He was a graduate of stage and costume design from the College of Dramatic Arts at the University of Tehran and continued his studies in Rome.
He began his career doing the stage design for Bahram Beizaii’s “Balled of Tara” (1979), and continued with Ali Hatami’s “Haji Washington” (1982), Rakhshan Bani-Etemad’s “The Blue-Veiled” (1995), Bahman Farmanara’s “A Little Kiss” (2005) and several more.
The Iranian Association of Stage and Costume Design has plans to hold a commemoration ceremony for Farsi in the upcoming days, added Nami who is also a designer.
