TEHRAN -- A new section dedicated to the veteran stage designer Iraj Raminfar was added to the collections of the Film Museum of Iran (FMI).

The section, designed by Maryam Ramezani, contains 22 models of sets he designed for films and TV series as well as his cinematic awards.
The models of sets available at the section are from Mehdi Fakhimzadeh’s historical TV series “The Imamate of Love” and “The Loneliest Commander,” Bahram Beizai’s film “The Stranger and the Fog” and Ahmadreza Mo’tamedi’s “The Insane Flew Away.”
“The Art of cinema has such a wide horizon and its potentialities are still unknown to me, so I continue my studies to learn more about it. If by chance I am awarded or gain fame through my studies, I believe that credit rightfully belongs to the art of cinema and its younger scholars,” he mentioned in his note to FMI.
He also pointed out to the importance of film museums as places for studying the process and the history of cinema in each country.
Born in 1950 in Tehran, Iraj Raminfar studied Stage and Costume Designing in Theater at the University of Tehran then he went to France and got his M.A. in Theater at the University of Paris VIII – Vincennnes in 1979.
The museum is located at the Bagh-e Ferdows, Vali-e Asr St., near Tajrish Sq.
