Persepolis-Chicago

Persepolis-Chicago

ranian documentary “Persepolis- Chicago” is about the adventures of the Achaemenid tablet fragments, which reveal the economic, social and religious history of the Achaemenid Empire in the fifth century BC. The tablets were discovered during the excavation of Persepolis, the ceremonial capital of the Persian Empire. About 90 years ago, archaeologists from the University of Chicago came to Iran to repair and study the inscriptions on some of these tablets.

The mission of this festival is to showcase the amazing diversity of cultures in the world, the past and present, and explore the current position of man in history and the contemporary world. This festival aims to promote and criticize the historical documentary genre and content producers in this field.

The Archeology Channel International Film Festival (Vine) was held from May 17 to 21 in Eugene, Oregon, USA.
