Like no other system of writing in the world, Persian calligraphy or Nasta’liq hovers on the boundary between art, information and the profoundly religious, raising the very question of whether a system of writing can be considered an art, and how it is that an alphabetic system can encompass so much. The film “Art, Beauty, Music and God - The Story of Nasta’liq” will explore these questions and others as it introduces viewers to this ancient art form, still very much alive today.
