 جعفر پناهی: امروز افتخار دیدار با استاد مسعود کیمیایی را داشتم.

Sitting next to one of the solid pillars of the golden generation of Iranian cinema warms my heart.

As soon as I arrived, with the same friendly demeanor, his warm voice and affectionate gaze said: 'Come, sit down and tell me what you've done?'

What did you do to make hearts beat this way and that? What did you do to revive hope in young filmmakers?

Sitting next to one of the sturdy pillars of the golden generation of Iranian cinema warms my heart; someone who has not only shaped the history of this cinema but has also shouldered its spirit and values.

He said: "You are standing in the right place... you have to continue... you have to make films and keep making films... as long as people stand behind you, this wind and storm won't affect you."

And this might be the most important lesson from Master Kimiayi: how staying is more important than staying at any cost.
