Notes

  1. ^ The year 1940 is the registered birth year on Changiz Jalilvand's identity document,[1] which conflicts with two different years mentioned by Jalilvand himself. In an exclusive interview with the Iran Cinema Museum (oral history), he stated his birth year as 1938,[2] and on the Dorehami program, he mentioned 1940. However, his tombstone records his birth year as 1940.[3]
