Petros Palian (his real name, but he is sometimes credited with Petrus or Petik) was born in capital, capital of Iran, on May 1, 1931, into a middle-class family of Armenian origin. His father died when he was only three years old and his mother worked hard to support the household. For many, cinema offers an escape from everyday life. For Palian, the term dream factory takes on its full meaning. “As far as I can remember, movies have always fascinated me.”
