Film screenings also formed an important part of the institution’s activities. Through documentary films and cultural presentations, visitors were introduced to the landscapes, monuments, industries, and daily life of modern Iran. Such programs provided French and international audiences with opportunities to gain a more comprehensive understanding of a country that was undergoing rapid social and economic transformation.
The House of Iran also sought to serve the educational community. Scientific and cultural commissions were established to facilitate dialogue among scholars, artists, students, and researchers. Academic conferences and lectures provided opportunities for intellectual exchange and encouraged cooperation between Iranian and French institutions.
Another important objective of the center was the promotion of contemporary Iranian artists. Works by Iranian painters, sculptors, designers, and craftsmen were displayed and made accessible to European audiences. In this way, the House of Iran functioned as a showcase for both traditional and modern artistic achievements.
