This is the story of a man who grows up in Tehran at a time when Iran has no
film industry, travels to Berlin to study law. gets caught up in WWIl, charms
his way into production studios, earns a Ph.D. in economics in Vienna while
honing his cinematic skills, finds an escape route in the dying days of the
war via Syria and Bulgaria to Istanbul where he runs into his long-separated
brother, falls for a Greco-Turkish girl, and driven by an unrelenting
pioneering spirit that will define his future, decides to dub foreign films into
Persian before he returns home with his bride-brother and film reels in tow.
And the rest, as they say, is history. With more than ninety features to his
name, the adventurous life of Esmail Koushan, Father of Iranian Cinema,
seen through the lens of his equally enterprising younger brother, the
cinematographer Mahmoud Koushan, is an indelible chapter in the history of
the seventh art. Written in hindsight to portray how one man changed a
whole generation's cinematic landscape. Final Sequence is a must read for
all who aspire to forging their own destiny against all odds, no matter what
their calling
