Nowruz Art and Cinema

The celebration of Nowruz is rich with customs and traditions that have been passed down through generations. One of the most iconic traditions is the Haft-Seen, a symbolic table setting that is prepared on the eve of Nowruz. The Haft-Seen consists of seven items, each beginning with the Persian letter S, representing various virtues and elements of life. In addition to the Haft-Seen, Nowruz is also marked by family gatherings, visits to elders, and the giving of gifts, especially to children.
