An Isfahani in New York is the story of a young man (Nosratolah Vahdat) who, at the request of his father (Arham Sadr) travels to New York searching for his playboy brother to find out whether he is seriously attending school. New York is a very strange place for the young Isfahani. During and after his journey he encounters very funny and strange individuals and scenarios. 80% of the film was shot in New York and the other 20% was shot in Isfahan using real locations.
This humorous yet touching film became a great hit during the 1970’s. Even to this day it is still shown as a memorable film. The film’s cinematographer, Petros Palian, was awarded the first Persian film award in Cinematography(Sepas). The film was praised by critics such as Zane Rooz magazine and The Tehran Journal.
