  • Summary

  • The story of film director Payam Razi who left his native Iran at the age of 21 to live in India. Eventually, he landed in Prague as he was accepted in the prestigious film school known as FAMU.  Payam talks about his work at Radio Free Europe, his movies, life in Prague, and the opening of his arthouse in late 2019. Payam wanted to show a variety of films from different countries, have two bars, and even a dance floor -all in one place. So, Screenshot (https://www.facebook.com/screenshotprague (Screenshot Prague)) opened its doors but the pandemic forced Payam to shut them for the third time as of November 2021.
