Faramarz Ghahremanifar

In 1997, he directed the first Iranian 3D film named "Runema" (translated as Visage). This film was produced by Iranian Youth Cinema Society (IYCS). "Runema" was made using the Pulfrich effect, which made it compatible with any type of display and television around the world. The audience of this film were able to watch the film in brilliant 3D without any disturbance in image and color with simple Pulfrich glasses. Meanwhile, without the glasses you would find it a normal 2D film. In the following year, this film was released in Iran on VHS cassettes by Visual Media Institute. Also, the 3D glasses required were produced in a small studio managed by Faramarz Ghahremanifar, himself. The glasses were put inside the cassette package. The need for 3D glasses caused him to use his experience in print-making, graphic designing and painting, so he could initiate a line of 3D glasses production in Iran. From 1998 to 2000, he made four new 3D documentaries in Pulfrich named Forest, Snow, Tehran's Grand Bazzar and Azadi Tower. These films were screened at 15th Tehran International Short Film Festival. As the final result of screening his previous 3D film, "Runema", in cinemas of Tehran, his films were purchased by Visual Media Institute. In 2001, in a corporation between Faramarz Ghahremanifar and Behrouz Samad Motlagh, a new 3D documentary was filmed, "Third Dimension", which was screened at Roshd International Film Festival. Mohammadreza Sokout was the cinematographer.
