The world’s leading provider of online entertainment service Netflix is going to offer the remastered versions of a number of movies directed by late Iranian director Abbas Kiarostami.

Netflix has signed a deal with mk2 Films, a French company that has acquired all rights to dozens of movies from Iranian filmmaker Kiarostami.

Every year, mk2 Films co-produces many movies and distributes a library of hundreds of films, including many remastered versions of classics by Abbas Kiarostami, Charles Chaplin, Buster Keaton, and more.

Under the new agreement with mk2 Films, Netflix is going to screen a total of 50 movies after rolling out the new content in a number of international markets.

The Netflix will first launch a dozen classics by French filmmaker Francois Truffaut, including Fahrenheit 451, The 400 Blows, The Woman Next Door, and Confidentially Yours, according to SlashGear.

The mk2 Films has announced in its website that it distributes classics from renowned figures like Chaplin and Keaton that have been restored in 2K and 4K quality.

The content that Netflix will offer for streaming under the new deal will reportedly include movies from Alain Resnais, Krzysztof Kieślowski, Francois Truffaut, and more.

The mk2 Films now owns nearly all of Kiarostami’s films after it signed an agreement with the Institute for the Intellectual Development of Children and Young Adults in 2017 to restore 20 films by Kiarostami in 4K.

Among the films by Kiarostami whose rights have been purchased by mk2 Films are “Where Is the Friend’s Home?”, “Life, and Nothing More…”, and “The Traveller”.

Iran's EAEU Accession Good Chance for Boosting Ties with Belarus

Iran’s trade minister says the country’s membership in the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) will be an ideal opportunity for the enhancement of trade cooperation between Iran and Belarus.

Iranian Minister of Industry, Mine and Trade Reza Rahmani said in a meeting with Belarusian Ambassador to Tehran Yuri Ivanovic Lazarcic that the two countries have what it takes to forge closer cooperation.

“The necessary potential exists [to boost ties],” said the minister, adding, “But obstacles to the expansion of relations should be carefully studied and removed.”

Rahmani touched upon already reached agreements to expand Tehran-Minsk trade cooperation, and said more needs to be done.

“The conclusion of a preferential trade agreement between Iran and EAEU member states sets the stage for the enhancement of trade relations between the two countries, and bigger steps should be taken in that regard,” he said.

“The general policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran on the enhancement of trade and economic ties is to pay due regard to the existing potential with friendly and neighbouring countries as well as increase trade with northern countries,” the minister noted.

He urged both Iran and Belarus to focus on ideal areas for cooperation, and said both sides should take the initiative to create the necessary infrastructure and establish the required principles for closer cooperation.

Elsewhere in his remarks, the minister referred to threats to economic development of countries posed by the coronavirus pandemic.

“We should have precise planning for the post-coronavirus era and forthcoming trade opportunities, and attention should be paid to both sides’ trade privileges in order to increase transactions,” he added.

“To that end, we are prepared to provide the necessary facilities for businessmen and economic players of both sides, so that they will be able to take the necessary measures in more favourable conditions,” he said.

Given the COVID-19 outbreak, he said, Iran stands ready to provide the necessary facilities to hold a meeting of the Iran-Belarus Joint Economic Commission via video conference.

The Belarusian ambassador, in turn, said his country tries its utmost to make the most of the existing opportunities to boost economic cooperation between the two sides.

Yuri Ivanovic Lazarcic said one of his key responsibilities is to work towards development of economic diplomacy between the two countries.

He expressed Minsk’s readiness to hold a meeting of the Iran-Belarus Joint Economic Commission via video conference as well.

He recalled the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the economic development of many countries. He said the disease has created some problems in trade relations between countries, and added ground should be prepared for further expansion of cooperation.

Iranian Regions Categorized Based on Coronavirus Threat

Iran’s National Coronavirus Headquarters has decided to put all areas of the country into three categories based on the COVID-19 outbreak and the threat of spread of the disease, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani says.

Addressing a Sunday session of the National Coronavirus Headquarters in Tehran, President Rouhani said a plan has been ratified to categorize various regions of the country as “white, yellow and red zones” based on the threat posed by COVID-19.

The president said each region will fall into one of those three categories on the basis of the coronavirus morbidity rate, the extent of outbreak, and the regulations introduced by the Ministry of Health and Medical Education.

Various restrictions and regulations relating to the coronavirus outbreak will apply to each of the three zones, the president added.

More than 100 cities would fall into the white zone category, he noted, saying as long as a region remains in the white zone, the religious sites could reopen in that area and the congregational prayers and Friday prayers could be held in there.

President Rouhani explained that an area will be declared a white zone when there is no report of new coronavirus cases and deaths for two weeks.

The Health Ministry will be drawing a map to define the white, yellow and red zones according to its criteria, he added.

The president then underscored that the smart social distancing scheme must be strictly observed without any interruption, stressing that reopening of businesses should not translate into an end to COVID-19 and resumption of the normal life.

The best way to defeat the coronavirus epidemic is to observe the social distancing regulations, the health protocols, and personal hygiene, President Rouhani noted.

He further pointed to a new decision on the mandatory use of face masks and gloves in the subway, saying the Interior Ministry will announce the start of the compulsory plan.

President Rouhani also highlighted Iran’s success in meeting the domestic demand for the medical supplies in the battle with the coronavirus, saying the hospitals across the country have been equipped with 1,100 more beds, 425 ICU (intensive care unit) beds, and 900 respiratory devices.
