After the death of Davoud Rashidi, Ehteram Boroumand donated his personal memorabilia (books, letters, photos) to the Film Museum, helping preserve his cultural legacy. Her sister, Marzieh Boroumand, is a highly influential figure in television and puppetry, particularly known for children’s programs. Ehteram Boroumand has acted in several films, including The Salesman (2016), The Time I Came Back (2016), and In Silence (2016). Through her work and her family’s legacy (especially in theatre and film), she has contributed to a generational continuity in performing arts.
Her role as the matriarch of an artistic family helps connect older traditions in theatre/cinema with contemporary work. She has appeared at cultural events, such as the Rashidi Awards (named in honor of Davoud Rashidi), highlighting her ongoing involvement in cinema’s community and memory. The family ties strongly into theatre and film — Davoud Rashidi (Leyli’s father) was a major actor, and Marzieh Boroumand (Ehteram’s sister) is deeply embedded in puppetry and directing.
