Directed by Bahman Kiarostami, Kamancheh seeks to celebrate and preserve the unique and beautiful music of the kamancheh. Part two of the documentary, Do Kamancheh (Two Bows), focuses on the disparate realities of Persian musicians today and their effects on the survival of this instrument.

Do Kamancheh takes an in-depth look at two performers with radically different lives and approaches. This film features Bahram Berdikor, from Bandar Turkoman in northern Iran, who has devoted over four decades to this instrument. Acknowledged as one of the greatest Turkoman kamancheh players alive, he receives few invitations to play his traditional-style music publicly. Changing tastes and political issues have stripped him of his livelihood. He is poor and desolate. An artist of approximately the same age, Reza Derakshani has blended ancient music with contemporary practice. With his modernized kamancheh, complete with electric pickups, he has played with numerous international artists at sold-out concerts. He feels his art makes his life "heavenly."

Do Kamancheh does not compare the values of these two artists; rather it facilitates a discourse between modern and traditional points of view. It also, inevitably, touches on the complex issues of cultural identity confronting Iranians today.
