On 27 September 2018, the documentary film “Taq Kasra: Wonder of Architecture” was screened at Yale University’s MacMillan Center for International and Area Studies. The event was organised by the Yale Program in Iranian Studies, and well attended by Yale members as well as the wider New Haven community.
The event was started by a short lecture by Prof. Kevin van Bladel, entitled “The Sassanian World of the Vault of Chosroes,” which offered historical context to the Sasanian Persian Empire. After the film screening, there was a lively discussion in which Pejman Akbarzadeh (director of the documentary), Prof. Abbas Amanat and Prof. Kevin van Bladel answered the questions. Dr. Nahid Siamdoust (Yarshater Fellow at the Yale Program in Iranian Studies) moderated the discussion.
