TEHRAN – A collection of photos by the Paris-based Iranian photographer Alfred Yaqubzadeh on Palestine’s Intifada will go on show on the sidelines of the 36th Fajr International Film Festival, the organizers announced on Wednesday.

The collection named “Intifada Uprising” puts the spotlight on Palestinians and three decades of their uprising against the Israeli occupation of their homeland. 

The exhibit is part of the program arranged for the Broken Olive Branches, a section at the Fajr festival that focuses on the upheavals in today’s Muslim world.

Yaqobzadeh was born in Tehran to an Armenian father and Assyrian mother. Alfred’s photos focus mostly on major conflicts in the Middle East, Central Asia and Africa.

He has published a collection of his photos on Palestinians’ struggle against the Zionist regime in a book titled “Promised Peace”. His books “Iran-Iraq War” and “Faces of War” focus on the 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq war.

The 36th Fajr International Film Festival will be held in Tehran from April 19 to 27.
