Recreation of a Hunting Scene on the Roof (1901)

Overview

This film that is recorded on the roof of Golestan Palace, shows Mozaffar ad-Din Shah Qajar and the rest of palace residents walking and looking far at the sky to watch or shoot birds. It might at first look like a short documentary movie but it is actually a drama in which the Shah plays the role of himself in an attempt to remake the real hunting/watching scene.
