The Iranian filmmaker and writer Ebrahim Golestan has died at the age of 100 in the UK.

His daughter Lili confirmed his death in an short Instagram post on Wednesday that said: "Father is gone. Good-bye."

Golestan leaves a long-lasting legacy and has inspired many Iranian artists.

He was born in 1922 in Abadan, in south-western Iran, when the country was opening up to the outside world.

Political and cultural curiosity led to the emergence of a generation of intellectuals who helped shape 20th Century Iran.

The young Golestan observed closely the movement for nationalising Iran's oil industry, which gathered pace in early 1950s.

He joined the communist Tudeh Party, but soon became disillusioned and devoted himself to documentary making and creative writing.

The British and US-backed coup of 1953, which brought down the anti-colonial government of Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadeq, probably contributed to this decision.
